Tires BRIDGESTONE or Firestone

I got some cheaper wheels from tire rack that are “winter rated” 18x8.5 +35 squared setup and Blizzaks. It will be worth the investment.

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 went with Firestone destination at/2 in 235/65 r17. They are great and light weight! Only 4lbs more than stock tires.

I have a set of Firestone Destination All terrains tires and i love them.

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:-).

I had 10 year old blizzaks one time that were always stored indoors. Threw them on and they work as in they hold air. But very squirrly even on damp pavement in the winter.

Personally I stay away from the Firestone stuff. Hard compounds that aquaplane easily and still have worse rolling resistance than the premium tyres.

Am avut până anul trecut Blizzak lm005, am prins temperaturi de +15 grade iar diferențele au fost sesizabile la frânare, aderenta în general, care se rupea mult mai repede fie pe viraje sau accelerare de pe loc.
