Tires Pirelli or BRIDGESTONE
I've been very happy with the Blizzaks on my R.
Whoever said blizzak are terrible in the snow is a lunatic I have to TRY and get the traction control to come on, and cane take corners covered in ice at 40-50mph and the car doesn’t even wiggle…now my preference is Michelin Alpin Pa4 but I had these in my garage from a couple years ago…I bought them then 2 weeks later the wheel got a crack, so I got the Alpin on the 19” wheels and did that the last 3 winters, now the wheel is fixed and the basically new blizzaks are great just got back from 5 inches of snow and ice I’m driving the speed limit everybody else has their hazards on and/or crashing into curbs.
I highly recommend Bridgestone Blizzaks. I put those on my stock steelies and bought a nicer set of aftermarket wheels with all season tires for Spring through Fall.
We got Bridgestone Weatherpeaks instead. Not a full snow tire like the Blizzaks, but good snow performance for an all seasons set of tires.
You can pick up used Pirellis from GT Americas. If you've never been to the Nashville race people haul away tires from the Pirelli tent all the time.
Just get Blizzaks, by far the best bang for your buck winter tire, they will need to be swapped for your regular tires every year, but they are awesome in anything this state will throw at you. I have used them for years through several iterations on multiple vehicles.
Have a 2021 Tiguan SEL with Pirelli Scorpion tires, 29,000 miles and the tires are still "green" for tread. Probably get 45,000 out of these.
I got 4 weatherpeak tires brand new in august of this year. I have driven 15,000+ miles with them already and I love them. But my tires are at a 5/32nds all the way around , even with rotating every 5,000 miles. What is causing them to wear so quickly?
My scorpions only lasted 15k miles , I was super unhappy with them
Honestly, the Pirelli Scorpions kinda suck. I just passed 20k on our Badlands and there is no way these tires will make it to 30k. Performance is also just mediocre.
