The stones have been a cheater tire for me in a sense that they communicate so well, they handle abuse of inputs, when they give up grip, they’re very gradual and you feel a slide coming. And when you do lose traction, the slide is controllable to get back into grip. There’s a reason they’re at the spear tip of auto cross.
I ran Blizzaks over the last few years.
Bridgestone does everything really well (except snow) and have been the tires that Ive bought repeatedly to cut out the guesswork.
Bridgestone blizzaks are my absolute favorite winter tire, tons of traction!
I've been using blizzak tires for over a decade on my front wheel drive car. Best tire out there IMO.
The Bridgestone Blizzack is an excellent winter tire. We’ve tried a few other brands over the years but this was noticeably better, the best one for ice in my experience.
I swear by Blizzacks for snowy winters. Even my old FWD cars handled everything the bumper cleared with ease
Bridgestone tires are usually a good balance of performance and cost.
But you will almost certainly trade off some road noise and comfort.
Just FYI, if you are looking for winter capability (snow/ice) the Weatherpeak sucks after 2 seasons of driving (\~ 30,000kms).
What I have observed is - when I go beyond 100 kmph, I sense vibrations from the tires. I did not face this while I was on my factory 19" tires (Goodyear tires). This was not a one-time thing, on different road conditions, different temperatures, I felt the same vibrations when the speed goes beyond 100-105 kmph. I think it is because of the tires, I can also sense the vibrations on my steering wheel.
