Tires BRIDGESTONE or OEM FORD
You should expect a slightly worse gas mileage, but not by much. In exchange you're getting excellent traction in the snow and rain though, so definitely a good choice for a tire.
I haven’t gotten my MYLR yet, but on my CX-5 I did a ton of research and the Bridgestone Weatherpeak edged out CC2 on many fronts.
I drove through some bad winter storms on them and they’re a beast. My MPG was also not affected, or were barely affected (like 0.2-0.4mpg less), compared to the Toyo stock tires.
I've been running a set of Weatherpeaks on my Kia Seltos since spring.
They are quiet, didn't impact fuel mileage at all from the OEM all seasons, handle great in dry and wet, and the snow traction has been exemplary. Glare ice is not perfect, but really only a good studded winter stands a chance with that. Mixture of snow/ice is handled with no problem...When they do break traction, they have been very predictable and easy to recover.
I put a set of 4 weatherpeaks on our FWD Mazda 3 and I have been very pleased. Quiet, smooth, surprising good in the snow (especially for fwd). And great in dry and rain so far too. Would absolutely buy again.
I just got a set of CrossClimate 2, it feels like an upgrade from oem bridgestone run flats. Pretty comfy.
I got rid of the run flats on my '14 R60. I put 1 size larger Bridgestone Potenza's on it to help with road vibration. The first set lasted just over 60k miles and I ordered my second set about 5 months ago
I have EB AWD and haven't changed out factory tires. In southern MN live off 3 miles of dirt roads. Winter has kinda nailed us this year. Maverick handled it all like a champ.
I have the hybrid lariat and I got a set of snow tires on steelies. I have driven through slushy freezing rain/snow this winter and it didn't slide around at all.
I've had same experience with their blizzacks. Great traction, horrible road noise.
That model Bridgestone tires is terrible in winter. Traction goes away below 45°. Wet weather is a challenge to say the least. I took them off and put on continental DWS tires at 10,000 miles.
