Tires BRIDGESTONE or BFGoodrich

I was a fan of Bridgestones, had some turanza Serenities on my mk5 and before that my old 960 wagon.

Dramatically better traction, specifically when driving through parking lots that were plowed, but now there's 2-4 inches of loose snow you have to go through. Just driving out of the parking lot after installation I had way way better grip.

It's like going from 30% grip to 80% grip.

The improved snow traction is amazing. Living in Minnesota I will never put a tire without the 3Peak Mountain Snowflake Symbol on a car I own again

Bridgestone Driveguards if you want RFTs. driveguards are near silent unless you're in dire need of suspension work

Bridgestone Blizzaks or Michelin Crossclimate 2’s.

Love my Blizzaks. I live where we get 450” of snow.

Just got Blizzaks from Costco and they literally changed my life.

I have run blizzak ws90s. Honestly out of the 3 I feel like blizzak are the best compromise. Snow performance is good. Ice performance is not quite as good as studded obviously but still good.

I have Blizzaks they're amazing. They are also studdless. So they are quiet. I am a serious skier. I have never not made it to the mountain with my Blizzaks.

My opinion is that these are very mild offroad tires. Better than regular street tires with slight improvement for off pavement. But on my Tacoma, the tires would spin quite easily in loose dirt going up hill on an 6-8 degree grade.

It took me till the day after the first snow when I slid through a red light. They are literal slicks. Get snow tires! Blizzaks make winter magical
