I swapped mine out for Nokian R5 and had no issues with snow ice, even in the Catskills. I used them for 2k miles
so far they’re quiet, grippy under wet conditions & slightly better in handling & ride than the Dunlop Grandtrek that came with them. Haven’t driven them in snow yet…
I use Nokian tires. They are very quiet and I’m satisfied. I’d recommend them to my parents.
I personally use Nokian winter tires. I've had the others, but keep coming back to the Nokians. Studded tires are unwelcome on the highway for me as they are loud and will add to driver fatigue over longer trips. Two hours of studded tire noise would drive me insane!
Honestly, for that run rate, any good tire brand works. Bridgestone, MRF, Ceat.
Blizzaks are the best for snow, x-ice are the best for ice. Depends on how you drive. If you’re late breaking all the time then you want x-ice for better braking grip, if you drive slow in the winter and plan your stops then blizzaks will have better acceleration traction.
Winter tires. You are probably fine with studless, something like Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5.
Bridgestone - from a handling perspective they are great - from a road noise perspective - they are a bit loud. I won't buy them again, but I'm certainly not throwing them away.
Bridgestone Potenza RE92 are great on dry pavement; but they are a scary ride with RWD on wet, snowy, or icy pavement.
I had them on a 2019 Sport. I got rid of them at about 25k. They hydroplaned dangerously.
