Tires BRIDGESTONE or BFGoodrich

My AWD Sienna hybrid is great in the Chicago snow on the stock Bridgestone tires. I love it.

I got some cheaper wheels from tire rack that are “winter rated” 18x8.5 +35 squared setup and Blizzaks. It will be worth the investment.

I noticed the wiper issue on mine in February when I first got the truck. It's pretty annoying. You can get around it like others mentioned but I've heard some users report they've chipped the hood paint doing it so I don't' bother.

I'm also in NS by the way as I see you mentioned that in the comments. Those the stock tires you still running? I ordered steelies and Bridgestone Blizzaks for mine a few weeks ago. Just under $1,400 which isn't cheap but they are great tires in the snow and ice. Handled the snow like a champ today. I also have the same vent shades. They are amazing.

Bridgestone last absolutely ages and are brilliant in the wet, it’s what I have on my merc

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.

Persönliche Erfahrung mit Allwetterreifen: wir haben jetzt seit ca. 2,5 Jahren Allwetterreifen auf unserer Familien-Möhre (Opel Corsa D 150ps). Diesen fahre ich sehr selten, da ich mein eigenes Auto habe, bei dem ich von Sommer auf Winterreifen tausche.

Ich habe das Auto dann im Frühjahr auf die Hebebühne gefahren, weil ich Mal drüberschauen wollte, wie der Zustand ist und habe etwas erschrocken festgestellt, dass die Vorderreifen nur noch ca. 1,7 mm Profil haben.

Can confirm that KO2 are horrible on ice and snow.

I have had COUNTLESS Bridgestone OE tires come from many brands worn out in 20k or usually less. The aftermarket replacements are also junk from Badstone
