Tires BRIDGESTONE or MRF
I love the WS80s on my SX4 though.
I have Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 (18”) on factory wheels on my 2024 Taos SE and only once, as I was approaching 50 mph, did I get that vibration. I got out, checked my wheels, and noticed some snow buildup between the wheel and the brakes (rear wheels, fronts were fine). I cleaned it out and the problem went away.
Aside from Canada 2010, can confirm, Bridgestone tires are durable and great. Own a set on my road car. Well priced too. 10/10. Would equip again.
Try mrf zappers... they are pretty good
I basically encounter the same conditions in winter as you do. After having driven many years on winter tyres (Dunlop Winter Sport 5), I switched over to an all-season (Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6).
The benefits in my opinion are better responsiveness while turning in (less block movement of the thread) and the better longevity of the tyre, considering it has to somewhat withstand 30°C+ temperatures by design.
Mine came with the potenza s005. The performance was great but the tire wore out with just 8k miles. To give some prospective, I replaced them with Michelin PS4S and at 6k miles they still measure 7/32 from the factory 9/32. The PS4S provided similar grip levels too.
Mine came with Hankook which didn't even last a tank of gas before I put new rims/tires on which made a HUGE difference. Ended up going with Bridgestone Sports which compete with the Michelin PS4S. Never have looked back. Great tire and really transformed the handling of the car.
Bridgestone Alenza Ultra’s for me. Michelin defenders wear out too fast for some reason and I don’t have a heavy foot. While the Crossclimate tires are awesome, they impact MPG too much.
I have bridgestones too but theyre the dueler line, they are super loud and during highway merges or on curvy roads at higher speeds they are jarring.
We have 3 Prius vehicles. The 2019 has Bridgestone Ecopia tires that are very noisy. the 2020 has Goodyears that are very quiet and solid in rain. I cannot wait to wear out the Bridgestones and I believe them to be crap. No tire should create that much road noise on a sedan.
