Tires BRIDGESTONE or Vredestein
Bought the Blizzak WS90 a couple weeks ago from my Volkswagen dealer as part of the "Buy 3, get 4th for $1" promotion they had in October. They were cheaper than anyone else for the tires even before they threw in the 4th one for $1, so total price for the tires mounted and balanced was $726.
I've put Blizzaks on all of my vehicles, including my '24 Kona. They are fantastic studless snow tires.
I've run the Bridgestone weather peaks on my FWD accord in 2 winters, they worked great. Did some insanely sketchy stuff and never felt like I was out of control.
I have gone from the Bridgestone Turansa All Season 6 and they have been great so far and a bit cheaper than the Michelins.
One recent set of tires (Bridgestone Potenza Sports - AMAZING!) less than a year ago, new brakes all around approximately 6 months ago.
I had both the Turanza EL440 and those exact Firehawk tires. The Turanza I had would have lasted maybe 55k or 60k if it wasn't for me getting one damaged from a road hazard.
I've always gone Blizzaks. They have been a phenomenal tire when it comes to driving in blizzard like conditions. Hell I was going 70 during a blizzard on a freeway when I had my cobalt in high school with blizzaks.... probably not the best decision back then, but they got my younger self home at the end of the day while many others were in the ditch.
I've been running 225/45-17 Blizzak WS90 since 2020. I'll be putting that same set on again this winter. They have been amazing and I'll probably buy another set when these age out. Edit: this period included a 2300 mile roadtrip across the northern US in early 2021 when we were having a crazy blizzard across the northern plains.
Bridgestone Alenza Ultra’s for me. Michelin defenders wear out too fast for some reason and I don’t have a heavy foot. While the Crossclimate tires are awesome, they impact MPG too much.
Bridgestone Runs flats on my x7 last about 16k miles.
