Huge upgrade from the Michelins I had, which were horrible for fuel economy.
FWIW, I have the Nexen AT Pro RA8 on my truck because my size for the Cooper's was backordered at the time and after 2 years I don't regret my purchase at all and will likely get Nexen truck tires again
The Bridgestone Weatherpeak is a better option. The WeatherPeaks have the advantage of being able to be actually rotated correctly.
Currently I’m running Bridgestone Potenza all season and they are good overall. Not as grippy as the continental, but unless you’re doing track days or a lot of street racing, you won’t really notice any difference. They’ve been comfortable and give pretty much the same MPG as the continentals I had before.
Very few manufacturers have a solid warranty that is actually usable in this regard, however one of the best warranties in the industry is from Nexen.
The Nexens on my 70’ Beetle work great. No need to pay more.
(2009 R1) Used S22's in heavy rain and roasting hot on track then used them to commute the following day. Worked perfectly fine in all conditions.
Oh and this in on new Bridgestone Weatherpeaks - I swapped out the stock trash - poor ratings even in rain - immediately.
Ran the blizzaks through 4-6 inches of snow and was barely making it through that. I never had less confidence in the snow than on those WS80 blizzaks. They were almost worse than the Sotozorro 3’s I had on my R two winters ago. Those I’ll excuse those because they were at least OK in the dry, otherwise they were pretty terrible in anything but light snow.
I had blizzaks for a few seasons after a set of very good dunlops. I was severely dissatisfied in the e blizzak performance. Not only did they wear quickly but they were awful in the snow and dry. We have X-ices on the Tiguan and they are far superior to the blizzaks.
