The best dedicated High-Performance Snows I ever had were Toyo Observe Garit KX in 225-50-17 on my old MK VI R. The colder it got, the better they gripped.
I just got some Bridgestone DESTINATION LE3. They’re holding up really well so far, a lot better than my stock tires.
On my old M3, I used Bridgestone quiettracks .- they had an 80,000 mile warranty, and I only paid full price once:-).
Couldn't find Michelin Pilot Alpin 5s in the size I needed so I tried the new Bridgestone Blizzak 6s and so far I'm very happy with them. Super stable on dry highways, Michelin X-Ice Snows were a wobbly mess that made me feel like I was in a boat.
I just order TOYO tires then pay a shop to install and balance. I rotate myself and save the extra money aside for any damage/repairs I might need later. it's financially worked out to my gain over the last decade and several sets of all season and winter specific tires.
Always had luck with general. But every car rides different currently my Impala likes Bridgestone, my previous vehicles ate Bridgestone.
I'm now on my 3rd winter on Blizzaks because Costco had a deal on them at the time and I thought I'd give them a try. I find them similar, but probably better from the standpoint that I used to be able to spin the X-Ices too easily taking off from a light in slippery conditions, and I can't say that I've noticed that issue as much with the Blizzaks.
I’ve used Bridgestone blizzaks, Michelin x-ice, Michelin cross climate 2s, and Continental VikingContact 7s.
Personally I liked the VikingContact 7s the best; I felt like they had the most traction and gave the best feeling of confidence. The Blizzaks felt very soft, degraded fast, and had poorer performance in the warmer conditions
I had the Toyos and drove 21k with the PHEV before they were down to 4-5/32". It is really important to check the tire depth every 2-3k and rotate as appropriate as they definitely wear quick when starting out.
Am avut până anul trecut Blizzak lm005, am prins temperaturi de +15 grade iar diferențele au fost sesizabile la frânare, aderenta în general, care se rupea mult mai repede fie pe viraje sau accelerare de pe loc.
