I had Winter iPike RS W419? on two different vehicles (a sedan and a CUV). Both vehicles handled great in fowl winter weather, tires were pretty quite for winter tires, they also wore pretty decently.
We had a really bad storm and the Bridgestone did fine on unplowed roads.
We have a '25 Sport and run Blizzaks on it and its been great the last two winters.
My Hankook icept IZ3's are killing the New York weather...
I have used the Bridgestone Turanza Allseason 6 on a Mazda CX5 2.5 AWD for 2 years and 20.000 km. They are excellent during summer heat and torrential rain on highways and I have yet to fond any issue with them on ice and snow, although the latter was limited. They are still at 7 mm tread.
I recently put the Bridgestones on my Mazda6 and they feel great in cold and wet weather, quite good in snow for all seasons too, but I haven’t had a chance to try them in proper European summer heat. My previous car had cc2 that were excellent in the snow, average on wet, and quite bad for my liking on summer drives. They just felt soft and flexi above 30c.
I'm rocking the Hankook Ion I-Cept SUV since two winter (25-26), because I needed the bigger batterie for the winter driving when I bought it since I was traveling 90km to go to work and using the car for work usage into the city.\n\nI live in a small village in Quebec, Canada, and the performance on the tires have been okay at best\n\nThey're not noisy and they are great on pavement and light snow, but aren't doing well in heavy snow and they suck on ice.
22 own bridgestone and i’m about to replace them at 16k. mostly city driving. i could probably get more life out of them but got a new set on sale and the originals won’t make it to lease return so i went for it. these wouldn’t be my pick for replacement if i were keeping long term.
I have a 2022 nissan sentra sv only 2,000 miles. came with 4 hankook kinergy gt tires. advertised as all year around. These are one of if not the most dangerous all year tires I have ever driven with. These things are going to end up killing someone. Ive slid/lost traction in winter far more and for far longer with these tires also while going at lower speeds. Yesterday driving home from work I was driving down a road that lead down a hill. the hill had a stop light. so the person infront of me and I stop. mind you we were only going maybe 6mph due to weather conditions. My car stops then proceeds to lose all traction while stationary. I turn my wheel to avoid hitting the person infront of me but low and behold im STILL sliding and im about to slide into oncoming traffic at the absolute last fucking second the tires magically get grip or traction again and stop. Absolute worst tires I have ever had the misfortune of using on the road in winter. No other car ive owned with all season tires has EVER done that.
They're shit tires in many ways and not worthy of WRC, but then again, everyone has to drive with the same shit tire.
Just the amount of punctures we have already had in the first nine stages, not to mention the massive amount of punctures last year, is not a good look on Hankook.
