Tires BRIDGESTONE or Firestone

Blizzaks are the best for snow, x-ice are the best for ice. Depends on how you drive. If you’re late breaking all the time then you want x-ice for better braking grip, if you drive slow in the winter and plan your stops then blizzaks will have better acceleration traction.

I’ve been driving a Honda CRV with Bridgestone Blizzaks and haven’t had any issues.

I vote for ws-90, those tires are unstoppable in our Ontario winters. Had them on my old mk4, my e60 550i bmw, and will be getting some now for my 7.5 GTI

I've had a FWD Corolla for 12 years and it has gotten me through the worst kind of storms in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and here in NL with Firestone Winterforce tires. I swear by them! I've gotten through conditions in snow storms that even big jacked up 4 wheel drive trucks got stuck in.

I got Bridgestone blizzaks there for my truck after tax it was $ 1,100 for 4 tires in 2024.

From personal experience - go for Bridgestone Turanza 6i.

Bridgestone Blizzak. On par with the x-ice and cheaper.

I’ve used Bridgestone blizzaks, Michelin x-ice, Michelin cross climate 2s, and Continental VikingContact 7s.

Personally I liked the VikingContact 7s the best; I felt like they had the most traction and gave the best feeling of confidence. The Blizzaks felt very soft, degraded fast, and had poorer performance in the warmer conditions

Bridgestones are meh and overpriced. Ecopias are just meh.

These are absolute JUNK. 35k miles on a well maintained Lexus RX 450h with normal driving - they are toast. We were going to change them in July because they are to the wear bars - except one bubbled a sidewall and blew while sitting in the parking lot today.
