Put some Wildpeak AT3s on my ‘03 4Runner last Spring, putting them to the test this Winter in Michigan, and I absolutely love them.
+1 for Blizzaks. I feel like I can go anywhere
In Wisconsin on my 2019 Atlas sel premium v6 I use Winter Tires Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 245/60R18 on Atlas OEM rims.
Have had the Wildpeaks now for a full year. They are really great in snow and rough weather conditions. That said, my truck did drop over 3mpg after the switch from the stock Kevlar Goodyears.
I barely have to put my truck into 4wheel in snow now that I switched to Wildpeaks. The amount of grip compared to the stock tires is insane. Also pretty quiet and my mpg’s only dropped for city driving, same mpg’s for highway.
Blizzaks, but my wheels are scratched to hell ????
I've used Blizzaks on my OBXT for years and swear by them. Got them for my tundra too. Pretty incredible what a good tire will allow you to do.
For the past 3 winters I ran Michelin Xice, this year I went with Blizzak WS80s and man, they are on another level entirely.
FWIW I am also in Oregon and have found the the Indy 500s inferior to the OEM Bridgestones in the dry, but better in most other respects.
Definitely a great wet tire - though my wheel hop is back despite the RMM. On a very wet onramp (99E SB to 224... aww yeah) I was able to hold a 4 wheel drift, pretty cool for a FWD car. But the turn-in still feels a little too..... normal.
I just turned 500 miles on the Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS that came on my SE. While they are far from the worst tire, I can't help but feel that it's a terrible match for the GTI. Even with the traction control, it's struggling to get any kind of grip off the line, and I'm talking like quarter throttle. On a brighter note, they don't squeal much around turns and are relatively quiet.
