I live in Canada and have ran Blizzaks on my awd vehicles for years now. They’re great for all winter conditions.
Bridgestone Blizzaks. Those tires on this platform have never given me more confidence in winter conditions in the Rockies.
The continent Viking contact 7 is what I run in Colorado mountains. IMO best bang for buck winter tire. It’s my ski car so if there is powder I am there and hasn’t failed me yet.
I replaced the run flats on my ‘24 X7 last week. I have 22” staggered wheels and replaced them with the Continental DWS06. Couldn’t be happier. This is my second X7 and I love the car, but I wanted more than 10k out of a set of tires.
I’ve been running conti DWS 06s on my X5/7s for years. Really like them. Good all weather traction, even in the snow. If you’re in lots of snow often then a true winter/summer setup is best as nothing beats snow tires, but for the usual storms we get in the Denver area they’re solid.
Get a second set of wheels with some Bridgestone Blizzaks and you'll be fine in pretty much everything other than real deep snow; then the bumper becomes a plow.
I dailyed my E36 BMW with just a pair of Blizzaks on the rear, got me through Wisconsin winters.
Ran a 90's S14 240SX with the limited slip and Blizzaks. Was awesome in the snow.
Bridgestone tires are usually a good balance of performance and cost.
But you will almost certainly trade off some road noise and comfort.
TLDR; I had to replace my Bridgestone Weatherpeaks within 5 months and 7,000 miles with 2 tire rotations and balances in between. I opted to go with Michelin instead.
