I had brand new Destination LE2 A/S tires and was sliding all over Rt.247 one crazy winter night. And then got Blizzaks put on... I hit that same area again, with snow and was a night and day difference, no more slippy slidey fun time for me !!
I'm a mechanic in Canada, I see all sorts of winter tires. Having driven on many different brands and styles, I recommend bridgestone blizzak over all others if you can afford it.
Nokian Hakkas, Toyo Observe GSi-5 and 6, Blizzaks have been the go-tos on all of our vehicles and among my family.
The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 is an all-weather tire with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. Not only that, but it is an exceptionally good tire, with not only excellent snow and ice traction, but excellent dry and wet too.
There are Hankook RS4s, and then there are all other tires that cost more, need to be replaced more often, and are slightly faster. Best bang for the buck tire, I'm on my fifth set.
RE71R’s or full Hoosier slicky boys if I’m feeling spicy and really wanna set a PB.
I use Hankook RS4s because endurance 200TW tires are cost effective. I can run them on my VN for at least an entire season and then some. It's gotten a bit chilly and there so the grip in colder weather is lacking if you're pushing it.
RS4 are a great all around track day tire. They wear fantastic, don't get really greasy and are predictable.
I got some cheap $100 tires and even those are better than the stock Bridgestones
I have the same tires on the Mazda3 and their wet performance is sh*t IMO.
