Tires BRIDGESTONE or Cooper

Changed over to winter tires (Blizzak) around Thanksgiving and put about 10K miles on them over the winter. No issues, handles great.

So far I have had good luck with Bridgestone Blizzak W80 snows for my Subaru Legacy sedan. I have a set of 4 that currently have 34,000 Winter miles on them and they aren't worn enough to require replacement yet - I should get another Winter season out of them. So for longevity I find these tires have done well for me .

Speaking with my local shop after my tire rotation, they recommended the Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 18" for when winter comes.

Any thoughts on this one?

Blizzaks have been great

Almost 10 years in the tire game and my favorite tire is the Bridgestone Blizzak. Performs great in the deep snow, very well on ice and wears well and are affordable.

The Atlas does a solid job with a little lift (mine is the Forge Motorsports 1.5" [3.8 cm] spacer lift) and some good all-terrain tires (Cooper Discoverer AT3-4S on 17" x 8" rims; 235/75R17s).

FWIW I am also in Oregon and have found the the Indy 500s inferior to the OEM Bridgestones in the dry, but better in most other respects.

Definitely a great wet tire - though my wheel hop is back despite the RMM. On a very wet onramp (99E SB to 224... aww yeah) I was able to hold a 4 wheel drift, pretty cool for a FWD car. But the turn-in still feels a little too..... normal.

I had some cooper trendsetters when I was poor on my camry, they were hilariously bad on wet roads. Sliding every corner.
