I used to commute from Ithaca to Syracuse daily in a mk5 GLI. I had studded Firestone Winterforces on steel wheels. That car was an absolute beast in the snow and regularly outperformed 4x4’s.
Bolts tend to eat through tires faster than my other cars, but that may be because it's fun to drive, so I accelerate and corner a little faster than I do in other cars. But this is a complaint that I hear from a lot of other EV drivers too.
I just replaced mine with the same that it came with. Decent tires got 55k out of them.
They have low rolling resistance according to Discount Tires tests, are light, and still grip well off road
I have Firestone Weathergrip all-weather tires in my escape and they have been just fine driving the past 3 winters in Calgary, with the odd trip out to Banff. I would say they are only questionable once the weather hits -30’s. Other than that they have been comparable to my blizzaks.
Firestone weathergrip on a Ford ecosport and they work well. Ive done Banff on snowy days and down to Radium as well .As always drive with extra caution.
I've been getting good service, tires and otherwise, from Firestone for literally decades. Many locations for ongoing service needs and access to history, good road hazard warranty protection, relatively good with appointment timing.
Put these on my Tundra recently. Tire looks great but def a bit noisier than the Firestones.
I’ve had both tires on my Charger. The firestones are very noisy.
Worst tires I have ever purchased. Snow traction was very good for an all season, but these should be marketed as a snow tire. The first set wore out in 13500 miles (in part due to a slight misalignment), and the second set are near garbage after 23000 miles. Most frustrating, is that they have cracked in between the tread. Firestone offered a measly discount as a warranty claim for the first set, I think $15 per tire. Spend the extra money and get a better set of all seasons.
