Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE
Bridgestone Blizzacks are incredible
Source: I live in the mountains in Colorado and drive my civic no problem with Blizzacks
I bought a set of CX90 19" wheels for my CX70 to put a set of 255/55/19 Bridgestone Blizzaks snow tires I got from Tire Rack for only $505 shipped!
The bridgestones The bridgestones are quieter and handle better in the in the dry they are still good in the wet but you can tell not quite to the cross climate level I see no real fuel penalty The acceleration in the snow is good and the braking's good with maybe a little less lateral traction than the michelins
My personal pick is the RE004, quiet ride, grippy compound in the dry and wet, reasonably priced, but wears a bit faster than eco tires. Worth it kasi mas tahimik ride. I also drive the same gen Vios. Naka ~13k kms ako before it needed replacing. Yun din pinalit ko ulit.
I didn't replace my factory Yokohama tires on my 2022 Limited until around 38k miles, and I still had around 1/4" tread left. I wanted better winter tires and replaced them with Michelin Cross-Climate 2 tires with a 60k tread wear warranty. There is a bit more ride noise than with my Yokohama tires, but nothing a few more decibels on the radio doesn't fix
If you're not regularly trekking into the mountains, all-weather tires like the Michelin CrossClimate are great. They perform really well in snow and you don't have to worry about swapping them out annually.
I picked up a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 and they are great tires. Can keep them on year round but much better in the snow than typical all seasons. They are pricey but well worth it IMO.
I have driven 5,000 miles on these tires with no loss in gas milage. I have 2023 Toyota Hybrid Highlander... I drive at 80 MPH on average and still get 28 to 30 mpg. Great tires.
Mine came with the same Bridgestones. They were ok, had decent grip. I replaced them with Pilot Sport 4Ss which seem a little quieter and softer-riding.
My mom’s cross climate 2s have been the loudest and roughing riding tires she has ever experienced on her prius. And I agree with her.
