Tires BRIDGESTONE or Cooper

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.

Always had luck with general. But every car rides different currently my Impala likes Bridgestone, my previous vehicles ate Bridgestone.

We have been running some amazing Cooper tires on our Acura. I think they have more than 75k on them and we are not changing them yet. They are top notch tires.

I currently have Bridgestone turanzas. They pretty good in wet/dry but terrible in the snow.

It happened to my dad when he bought cooper tires. I'd like to avoid other brands that have dented sidewalls.

Be careful with Coopers. Their QC is abysmal. I just took off a brand new set of Road & Trails, about 600 miles on them. Wouldn’t balance and the thread was coming through the sidewall on one of them.
