these tires well, may be worth the price. and after today, I've decided to keep them for the next round of tires. definitely not overkill. i would have been in a ditch today if i didn't have the traction i needed. i almost slid off the road 3 times, and that's a positive given the road conditions.
I have them on my 2016 forester 2.5. I live in the middle of Indiana so for half of the year it rains somewhat regularly. Personally, I think the tire is great. I have made turns too quickly while the roads were wet and didn't slide around at all. Accelerating and braking, i consider the traction to be very good in all conditions.
My mother drives her Hyundai i20 on Bridgestone Weather Control A005 and is happy with them.
I use Bridgestone Weatherpeaks on my 2018 Forester but I live in the east coast of Canada.
I'm running Bridgestone Potenza. I've gone through two sets of Micheline Pilot Sports within 25k miles. I'm hoping these Bridgestones last longer. In terms of performance I don't notice a difference between the two.
Our OEM Primacies are still great in snow after 25k miles.
Bridgestones are all I buy.
I’ve driven a wide variety of winter tires. Bridgestone, GoodYear, Firestone, Cooper, Michelin, Continental, and one or two others. Some were quieter, some were better on ice, some were better in deep snow. None were terrible. If you go with major brand names, that are not much over 5 years old, you should be ok.
Bridgestone have been terrible for me.
I had Blizzak on my 2014 X5 and traded it in with them, on purpose. Noisiest tires ever. Couldn't wait to get rid of them, and the X5, due to a number of cooling system failures.
