Tires Falken or BRIDGESTONE
I’ve had wildpeak at3w on my Jeep xj for about 7 years and I’ve taken it to Mexico eight times down to my uncles ranch , it is one heavy duty off road trip to get there… also done a lot of highway driving, i’ve taken it up to Seattle to visit my niece. I’ve gone 4 x 4 in all over the desert in Nevada and Arizona, of course, in California also. And I have to say that my tires are still in great shape. They handle really great in the rain and the snow.
I have the wildpeaks. Went from the stock Michelins. The mpg went down about 2 or so….performance in snow is way up and the braking is way better. I don’t off-road but it works for me so far.
AT3w in stock size on a 17 GX here. Slightly more noisy than the factory rubber but unless you rode in it before and after the tire change, you wouldn’t notice. It’s that subtle. Waaaaay more capable. No loss in MPG that I have noticed. Win win.
After a massive blowout on 422 here in PA a few months back, and having HUGE bubbles in the sidewalls of two other tires and a large gash (no idea where this came from) of the spare that went on, I replaced all four with a set of Bridgestone RE980 AS+'s. What a difference in the way the car rides and grips. You can feel the Bridgestone's handle the bumps SO much better than the stock Conti's and there's much more grip.
I lived in Boston for a while and i used blizzak tires. They worked well.
They are good though, I ran some on my E30.
Just got back from a 1000 mile road trip in 275s Falken Wildpeaks. Very impressed, smooth ride to Costco. Did slight forest road driving and didn’t slow me down. Loving them.
Have around 25k on my wild peaks tread is still excellent, they do excellent in north east winters too.
I just got a set of 255 Falken RT660, not quite half-gone. Put them on the car and wow did they rub, definitely need to self-clearance. Speed-wise they were pretty comparable to what I've been running on Bridgestones, but they got pretty slidey late in sessions and it wasn't even a hot day.
My BridgestonePotenza S001 has 12k miles with 6/32 of tread depth. Likely, they grip marginally better than new but I don't have high expectations from this tire anymore. Nevertheless, I did expect a transformation from wider summer tire, coming from horrendous BridgestoneECOPIA EP422 PLUS .
