Tires BRIDGESTONE or WEST LAKE
I had WS80s for a few years with no issues.
Blizzak tires are golden lasted 7 years.
I’ve got blizzaks on both vehicles. Only ran generic winter tires before that and the improvement was crazy.
Paid a pretty penny for my WS90s, going on sixth winter still good shape
Have had great experience with the Blizzak WS-90s
I had blizzaks that I bought used on Kijiji for my outback I had, the previous person had them for 3 winters, and I also had them for 3 winters and there was still probably another winter left in them if you wanted to chance it, I didn’t have any issues with them, maybe a little rough but they were also on steel wheels
Blizzaks all day. Best winter tire I’ve ever ran.
The Bridgestone A005 is less highly regarded in the snow and more for wet and cold (i.e Scotland), but both are miles and miles clear of a summer tyre in the snow.
I got Alenza 275 50/22r as OEM and they are terrible in even the lightest snow. My car is a 2024 escalade ESV 4WD, which should be able to handle light snow, but yesterday I was cornering at 10mph I lost control of the car on 4WD, with probably 1/5 inch of snow on the ground.
I’m also experiencing the same poor tread life with the Weatherpeaks at 16,000 miles. I’m actually slipping on turns now and plan on using the warranty for a replacement. I don’t feel good about these tires.
