Tires Firestone or Giti
Firestone Weathergrips are great tires. I had them on a 2011 Escape before it got hit by a retard. They handled an Alberta winter no problem, however my studded winters were obviously still better.
I have these on a BMW 528i and they’re great. Good responsive steering and is confident in canyon carving in Colorado. I disagree with every negative you listed.
I've had great luck with firehawk indy 500. They're 320 tw. I'm an okay intermediate driving a 2010 mx5. I'm not sliding the car around much at all.
They're great street tires and have been able to get more than 6 track days on them thus far. Tires still has more in them.
Firestone Indy 500 tires the car is sucked to the ground.
I have Firestone Winterhawk 4, and they are great. Its basically budget version of Blizzaks as they are owned by Bridgestone. I am in central Europe and we have mild and wet winters as well, my driving profile includes everything, I will do 500km on the highway, mountain pass and then city driving and they work perfectly. We have them on 3 cars already. I was thinking about something more premium, but I am perfectly happy with them.
I personally use 205/50r16 Firestone Winterforce 2's on my MK7 for Iowa Winters, it's a great tire and I've had little issues with it.
Go for Giti or even their more popular variant in motorsports, GT Radial. They're pretty affordable and have been loving them on our Ranger.
Airing up tires would be about the only thing I'd trust Firestone with and it would have to be free to even trust them that much.
I had firestone put 2 on the front of my 2015 Camry. I put 7,000 miles on them and they are already worn out.
Just bought for these for my Camry and I hate them. The ride is very bumpy and Firestone won’t do anything about it.
