Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE
Bridgestone Blizzarks winter tires. I drive 80miles round trip to work daily.
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.
I sit around 109 C in the summer and between 100-105 in the winter. Seems normal.
Winter tires? Why not winter homologated (Canada) all season Michelin Crossclimate 2. They are better than the Pirelli PZero my 2022 came with and I don't see a difference on snow compared to my last Vredestein winter tires!
RE71R’s or full Hoosier slicky boys if I’m feeling spicy and really wanna set a PB.
The PS4S that replaced the OEM Bridgestone Potenzas on my 370Z are lasting about twice as long, are quieter and are as grippy. The only drawback to this particular tire is its less stiff sidewall, making the steering less precise.
I’m in the Pacific Northwest here, probably similar weather conditions like you. I have seen a 2-3 kWh/100 mi increase in consumption compared to the summer tires.
I had Blizzak on my 2014 X5 and traded it in with them, on purpose. Noisiest tires ever. Couldn't wait to get rid of them, and the X5, due to a number of cooling system failures.
