Tires Hankook or BRIDGESTONE
For Illinois daily driving, I\u2019d go with the Bridgestone WeatherPeak out of the three you listed it\u2019s been the most consistent in wet + light-snow grip and rides smoother than the Contis or the BFGs. I swapped to WeatherPeaks earlier this year and they\u2019ve handled Midwest rain and early flurries way better than my old set.
I got a good deal on hankook extreme at2 rf12. They look good and are 3 peak rated. They have been fantastic in the snow compared to the stock Goodyear wranglers. Also have a 70k mile warranty, but we’ll see if they actually last that long.
I have Blizzaks on my AWD BMWs right now, and it makes a huge difference.
If you NEED a great snow tire, nothing beats winter forces or blizzaks.
We got a big snowfall over Thanksgiving, I have these exact tires on my ND. They're great. Obviously they move around a lot more on dry roads but they are excellent in the snow. Acceleration and cornering are great and I had no issues on fairly steep hills either. Like any tire in the snow though, you must leave plenty of stopping distance.
I put them on earlier this month. They seem quiet to me. My Pirellis were down to 2/32” and they are *infinitely* more quiet than that lol
I ran m 42 psi on a recent track day and had some mild sidewall running.
Persönliche Erfahrung mit Allwetterreifen: wir haben jetzt seit ca. 2,5 Jahren Allwetterreifen auf unserer Familien-Möhre (Opel Corsa D 150ps). Diesen fahre ich sehr selten, da ich mein eigenes Auto habe, bei dem ich von Sommer auf Winterreifen tausche.
Ich habe das Auto dann im Frühjahr auf die Hebebühne gefahren, weil ich Mal drüberschauen wollte, wie der Zustand ist und habe etwas erschrocken festgestellt, dass die Vorderreifen nur noch ca. 1,7 mm Profil haben.
I have just about 9100 miles on my 2024 Golf R, purchased just over a year ago. The car just went through PA Stat inspectio, after which the service tech told me the tires are at 4/32. It passed the inspection but there’s not much left on the tires. The car as new came with Hankook Venus S1 evo 3 tires. It seems almost unbelievable to me that I may only get 10,000 miles out of these tires.
For reference, crappy and expensive Bridgestone Alenzas (summer tires) were put on mine (21 inch)
