Tires BRIDGESTONE or Cooper

I recommend the Bridgestone Blizzak. They are studless snow tires. Instead of medal studs, they embed a series of really firm rubber 'studs' into the softer rubber of the tire. They work just as well as metal studded tires, but don't chew up the road or make the annoying noise that the metal studs.

I can personally attest to the quality of the coopers, as I've put mine through absolute hell on my first gen frontier, which is my bush/overlanding rig.

I love the bridgestone potenza RE-71RS

Cheap, quiet, and gives an aggressive look

I use Bridgestone Turanza T005s. They harden really fast if you don't take care of it, but they are very good for daily driving and last quite well if you take care of it.

The stones have been a cheater tire for me in a sense that they communicate so well, they handle abuse of inputs, when they give up grip, they’re very gradual and you feel a slide coming. And when you do lose traction, the slide is controllable to get back into grip. There’s a reason they’re at the spear tip of auto cross.

I ran Blizzaks over the last few years.

This is the 1st gen MotoMaster Winter Edge tires made by Cooper, bought in 2017. Noticed this damage, when I took them off for Summer Tire swap earlier this year, some are on the outer edge, others on the inner edge.

Making a left turn into a business parking lot, I heard a pop and the left front dropped and the sound of rubber getting mushed. Not even a bubble before this happened.

i had these tires on thru the previous two winters. i put them back on for this winter and the performance is severely diminished. they have about 16k miles on them. i won't buy them again.
