I have run both blizzaks and ice I have found the Ice last longer and seem to run quieter they are worth the cost
Couldn't agree more, just swapped to my Blizzaks for the winter, just another thing to not worry about. Got early snow/slush over the weekend, and it drives just fine in that slop. And when the snow gets deep (rarely), no problem:
Some plain steelies and a set of Blizzaks are your friend.
I had the Bridgestone 970ASes. They have incredible consistency which is the huge plus over a straight summer needing warmup before it really sticks. Wet grip is almost the same as dry. They were the best tires I had on my caravan and golf, you can get by a winter with them if you don't have a second set of wheels.
I have 15s on my Jetta and run Bridgestone Blizzak WS-90s on it.
After i got a bit of use out of them i got a set of bridgestones. I cant remember what ones exactly but they really didn't cost all that more than the cheapest tires i could find. The difference was night and day. Car was much quieter at motorway speeds, felt a lot more planted to the road and more importantly felt much less skiddish in the rain. Made the car feel completely different.
Continental or Michelin, all season or summer tires. Bridgestone Blizzak for winters. Never had anything else.
For snow tires Blizzaks are remarkable but they are soft/squishy. Since Denver gets warm and sunny frequently during the winter, if it's only car I wouldn't get these if the intent is to leave them on for the season - performance and handling aren't, and wear is
I bought my MT10 with 3200 miles on the clock, it now has 5800 and is in need of a new rear tyre. Really only due to the centre wearing out, it's down to about 2mm.
I bought a set of new take off wheels for my Golf. They came with factory fresh Bridgestone Ecopia 422 Plus tires. Anyway, these are the crappiest tires I've had in 30 years of driving as far as on center feel / tracking. Car demands constant attention to go perfectly straight on the highway...always wants to go slightly left or right. Going dead straight is total white knuckle territory.
