The le3 are the only oem style tire id ever recommend. I’ve never seen a manufacturing issue, they last forever and are quite quiet for what they are.
I did a bunch of research and went with bridgestone blizzaks. They make my winter drives way more enjoyable. I can't believe I'd gone without them for so long. Plow up hills/etc that I would never think about attempting in previous years.
Blizzak DM V2 are the only ones I have experience with, but they are miles better than ATs on my 4Runner (and I have the Nokians).
I have 10 ply Blizzaks in Maine and they’re awesome. Wildpeaks for summer. If I don’t swap soon enough and I’m driving the Wildpeaks in snow, it’s very uncomfortable!
'23 Venture+ - just crossed 36,000 miles on the odometer. Not a single software or mechanical related issue with the vehicle. Only done routine maintenance, tire rotations every 7500 miles (still on original OEM Alenza's) two cabin filters and a complementary brake fluid replacement service.
Very quiet, aggressive look, excellent traction.
Got my current tires from Walmart (Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus) and had my local shop install them, I’m more than likely gonna go to Discount Tire for my soon to be needed next set.
Can you afford Bridgestone Blizzaks? If so, get those. They are the best winter tires money can buy unless you literally live on a frozen lake. I had a set of ws80s for 4 or 5 years. I a aolutely loved them, and just put on a new set of ws90s, last year, and they're even better.
There are now 3 choices of 21, I just got the Bridgestones, and they are night and day better than stock Pirellis. And way cheaper. But these tires changed the whole feel of my R1S.
If you want the best snow tires get blizzacks they are by far the best out there.
