I'm running Bridgestone Potenza. I've gone through two sets of Micheline Pilot Sports within 25k miles. I'm hoping these Bridgestones last longer. In terms of performance I don't notice a difference between the two.
Our OEM Primacies are still great in snow after 25k miles.
I picked up some Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail ATs for my 2017 RAV4 AWD, in 235/70r16. I haven't seen many reviews of these yet, so I wanted to give some of my thoughts. I've only had them for about a week so I can't give any advice on how they'll hold up, but I have loved them so far. In central PA, we've also had a nice variety of weather in the period since I've gotten them, so they've been tested in several conditions already.
* Wet Traction - 9.5/10
* Really confidence-inspiring wet grip. This is always a question mark with AT tires, but absolutely no trouble at all with these. Braking is especially impressive, even in standing water.
* Dry Traction - 8/10
* Nothing to complain about here - stopping distance and dry traction are both more than adequate for an all-terrain tire.
* Snow Traction - 9/10
* Really impressive snow traction. I tested in deep snow and a variety of slushy conditions. The RAV4 had no trouble at all going through 4-6 inches of snow (on grass), even even starting up a hill in those conditions provided no trouble at all. Braking is also impressive in the snow, inspiring confidence on my snow-covered driveway.
* Comfort/Noise 8/10
* They definitely are a little bit stiffer going over bumps than the standard all-season tires that were on the vehicle before, but nothing I would consider to be viscerally unpleasant. Noise is relatively silent, with the addition of maybe a very slight hum at highway speeds.
Overall, I have absolutely no regrets with my purchase, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these for a person who is interested in a fairly rugged tire that can handle all conditions adequately.
Bridgestones are all I buy.
I literally just told my wife that I found these Weatherpeaks to be better in the snow than our dedicated winter tires, and not so bad on ice neither.
I roll a set of Bridgestone Blizzak WS90’s on my Chevy Bolt. Very happy with the performance on snow and especially stability on icy roads. As always drive cautiously but the driving feel and confidence is night and day compared to “3 season” tires.
Get blizzak's. You wont regret it. Front of my Beemer acts like a snow plough everywhere I go. Rwd only, no added weight, absolutely unstoppable... (pretty far north myself)
Bridgestone Turanza EV tires. No foam and quieter than the OE on the car. Rides better too :)
Of those three, I'd go with Coopers
My experience with Cooper's is that they last for ages, but had zero grip
