I went with Bridgestone Weather peaks. Much less slipping and good efficiency.
BRAND NEW Yokohama AdvanSport+ A/S tires (Yokohama’s equivalent to Michelin’s Pilot Sport 4 A/S) with less than 600 miles on the tires - no real maintenance (outside of oil changes & tire rotations) needed on this bad boy until at least reaching 105k miles!!
I wholeheartedly endorse yokohamas. OEMish weight, excellent in nasty weather and no excessive noise driving
Nothing but good luck so far.
Dedicated snow tires like Blizzaks kick any 3 peak tires ass. I've driven several brands, and I almost have to drive every time it snows. I wouldn't choose any other tire for winter driving/ commuting, and some light off road.
When I was living in Montana I got Blizzaks because the commute to the resort was up an icy canyon. I love the Blizzaks so much, I now don’t want my KO2s on my car in the winter. The grip is so different.
Felt good, real frigging good on the Bridgestones compared to the Falkens. I love Falkens for the price but had to be competitive and it was my first time on Potenza rubber and I don't know if I can go back. I was able to left foot brake so well through the elements and folks on the cones said I was absolutely 3-wheeling through the sweepers, so nice to feel the front end grip and hold.
I ran m 42 psi on a recent track day and had some mild sidewall running.
They were absolutely terrible on dry packed snow during a surprise squall I got stuck driving in. Not very surprising as that’s really the worst case scenario for all-weather tires—the snow fills the tread and stays there. Otherwise they have been fine, although the seem to be disintegrating in a weird way. They only have 16k miles but bits of tread are chipping off, rather than the tire wearing down.
I felt that the tires were too hard and were easy to make noise with and kind of slide. I got tired of it and put on some temp tires until the tread wore out.
