Everyone says they're mid but I've yet to lose any sort of traction wet or dry. And I've tried.
have previously tried pilot support 4 but they didn't quite work as well on my car on initial turn in and wore a bit faster but both tyres are amazing in all conditions.
I'm happy with them so far, but they do wear faster.
Huge upgrade from the Michelins I had, which were horrible for fuel economy.
Had the LE3s for 4 years on my escalade driving up and down the mountains and road tripping western US. A great tire, I took it through highway, pothole city, rain, snow, ice and even sand.
The Bridgestone Weatherpeak is a better option. The WeatherPeaks have the advantage of being able to be actually rotated correctly.
Currently I’m running Bridgestone Potenza all season and they are good overall. Not as grippy as the continental, but unless you’re doing track days or a lot of street racing, you won’t really notice any difference. They’ve been comfortable and give pretty much the same MPG as the continentals I had before.
Potenza Sports have a really stiff side wall. They in turn produce a loudee road noise.
I currently have a set of Firestones on my car. I hate them. Noisest tire I have ever used, and they are leaving black marks on my garage floor. But they were cheep and that's all I could afford at the time. Never again.
Ran the blizzaks through 4-6 inches of snow and was barely making it through that. I never had less confidence in the snow than on those WS80 blizzaks. They were almost worse than the Sotozorro 3’s I had on my R two winters ago. Those I’ll excuse those because they were at least OK in the dry, otherwise they were pretty terrible in anything but light snow.
