Tires Firestone or Sailun
I've run a set of Ice Blazers the last 3 winters, and they've performed very well on cold/snowy/icy Canadian roads. They are a great value-for-money winter tire.
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Don't think you can beat the price ($150/tire installed when I got them) and they do great in rain. I've put 40k mi on mine and they have probably got 20k more in them.
I just replaced my tires a couple months ago with the Sailun eRange EV and like them so far. I haven't had any drop in range. I think the noise level might be slightly more if anything.
Firestone Indy 500 tire? What level are you running at and on what car? What is your psi? It's a great novice (to intermediate-ish)tire, but you have to know when to back off. Run them too hot and they'll get a little greasy feeling. Although I can't see that happening after 1 lap.
As someone who buys Michelins for all my vehicles, I recently purchased a set of used wheels and tires for my Tundra with Chinese brand Sailun tires on them and I actually love them.
I've had the Firestone Weathergrips on my Camry for 4+ years. Solid performance all around - better in snow than any all season tire I have used. Noise has gotten worse as they wear - there isn't any cupping or uneven wear - I think it is just the nature of the tire.
Get the Firestone All Seasons, or Firestone Wearhergrip All Weather tire. Both are excellent for snow, rain - any weather.
The tires I currently have are Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s, which were on the car when I bought it. For my use case I generally like them, with one exception: wet weather performance. Even though moderate NorCal doesn't see too many rainy days, I've felt myself losing traction/hydroplaning on quite a few occasions. If it weren't for this issue, I could easily see myself just replacing them with another set of Firehawks and calling it a day
Avoid the Firestone on ridge, had a nail in a BRAND NEW tire and they tried to sell me 2 new ties, my car isn't even a year old and they tried to rip me off. I got it plugged up and will never go back to them.
I put some cheap all seasons on my Fiesta ST (sailuns) and they were fine until it snowed and it was like I was trying to drive on summer tires in winter. Then they couldn't handle a single pothole, within a year I tossed the whole set because I blew one out and saw I had a bubble in two other tires on the insides from potholes.
