Tires BRIDGESTONE or MRF
I personally have Bridgestone Revo 3 on my truck. Best non-snow tire I’ve ever driven in the snow and rain, they ride and steer much better than any other all terrain and I’ve never needed more off road performance.
Was my favourite tyre. I tried the sc and the r11s back to back and felt much more confident on the r11s. I had less front wheel movement under braking and less slide from the rear so stuck with them
For MPG we had good results with the Bridgestone ecopia ep422 , we’ve since switched over to a tire that has better snow performance after using those up.
I've had my Bridgestone Weatherpeaks for several months now...absolutely love them.
Great ride, very quiet, great wet and dry performance.
Just had our first real dump (and a nasty one at that) of snow with a good layer of ice underneath (it rained for two days prior to the snow). Ive been driving around for the last couple days thoroughly impressed with the snow and ice performance of these tires. I had guys ahead of me slipping and sliding almost right through a 4 way stop and my Seltos didn't even kick on the ABS when I came up to it. Any slippage in corners and on acceleration seemed very gradual and easily controllable. They have been very confidence inspiring in the crap weather we have just had...I would highly recommend them.
The best all weathers for snow/ice are the General Altimax 365 and the Bridgestone Weatherpeak. These are very good choices for winter biased all weathers. While they won't be quite as good as the best dedicated snow tires, they will be as good or better than an average snow tire.
Bridgestone B 290. Great all round tyre.
I went with the Ecopia 422+ on my 2013, replacing my stock tires. Range has been good (if not a little better), and the ride is MUCH quieter than the stock tires. Like I didn't realize how loud the road noise was until it was gone.
I've had same experience with their blizzacks. Great traction, horrible road noise.
With 4000 miles on the car, I thought I would 'Upgrade' with a decent reviewed set to replace the stock continentals... After a 3-hour install I became somewhat horrified as to what I had done...even with the proper size, the car visually and actually sits lower, the fluid steering has stiffened exponentially (even normal mode), and the car feels so much heavier. The Tiguan now struggles (and burns gas /loses economy) to accelerate in regular conditions and the braking feels laggard. It is a night and day difference that makes the OEM Continental ProContacts actually seem like a good tire. Do not purchase these tires unless you want to turn your Tiguan into a constipated low-slung Jeep.
This is true, we had a few avalons here with Bridgestone Turanza's with something called "radial pull" and its a tire defect that causes car to pull to one side or another because there is a defect with the tire construction.
