Tires BRIDGESTONE or Achilles

blizzaks are the best in my eyes. have also used michelin x-ice, pretty similar results.

Bought the Blizzak WS90 a couple weeks ago from my Volkswagen dealer as part of the "Buy 3, get 4th for $1" promotion they had in October. They were cheaper than anyone else for the tires even before they threw in the 4th one for $1, so total price for the tires mounted and balanced was $726.

I've put Blizzaks on all of my vehicles, including my '24 Kona. They are fantastic studless snow tires.

I've run the Bridgestone weather peaks on my FWD accord in 2 winters, they worked great. Did some insanely sketchy stuff and never felt like I was out of control.

I have gone from the Bridgestone Turansa All Season 6 and they have been great so far and a bit cheaper than the Michelins.

One recent set of tires (Bridgestone Potenza Sports - AMAZING!) less than a year ago, new brakes all around approximately 6 months ago.

I had both the Turanza EL440 and those exact Firehawk tires. The Turanza I had would have lasted maybe 55k or 60k if it wasn't for me getting one damaged from a road hazard.

Arivo feels like it would wear out in about a year of good use. My last bridgestone got to around 38k km (5years ++) of use. Im currently using bridgestone ecopia and personally i have no qualms with it

Ran the blizzaks through 4-6 inches of snow and was barely making it through that. I never had less confidence in the snow than on those WS80 blizzaks. They were almost worse than the Sotozorro 3’s I had on my R two winters ago. Those I’ll excuse those because they were at least OK in the dry, otherwise they were pretty terrible in anything but light snow.

I had blizzaks for a few seasons after a set of very good dunlops. I was severely dissatisfied in the e blizzak performance. Not only did they wear quickly but they were awful in the snow and dry. We have X-ices on the Tiguan and they are far superior to the blizzaks.
