Tires BRIDGESTONE or GENERAL TIRE

For Illinois daily driving, I\u2019d go with the Bridgestone WeatherPeak out of the three you listed it\u2019s been the most consistent in wet + light-snow grip and rides smoother than the Contis or the BFGs. I swapped to WeatherPeaks earlier this year and they\u2019ve handled Midwest rain and early flurries way better than my old set.

For a Volt on hilly snowy roads, the best “cheap but actually works” winter tire I’ve used is the General Altimax Arctic 12. It’s one of the few budget winter tires that still digs in on steep climbs and icy starts, and it wears slower than most entry-level options.

I had General Grabbers AT3 and they were great.

I have Blizzaks on my AWD BMWs right now, and it makes a huge difference.

If you NEED a great snow tire, nothing beats winter forces or blizzaks.

I've only ever tried 1 - General Altimax Artic. I drove on them through the Rockies for 4 ski seasons, no studs. Can't imagine needing anything more. My Subaru felt unstoppable... but also completely stoppable! I could turn and brake just fine. Felt like I was on pavement. Almost no fun because I couldn't even get the car to drift!

We got a big snowfall over Thanksgiving, I have these exact tires on my ND. They're great. Obviously they move around a lot more on dry roads but they are excellent in the snow. Acceleration and cornering are great and I had no issues on fairly steep hills either. Like any tire in the snow though, you must leave plenty of stopping distance.

Bridgestone AT tires gamit namin sa everest. So far ok naman naka isang palit na since mag 9 yrs na everest namin.

I have them but they are incredibly thin. I’ve already had to replace a set of them due to how thin the sidewall is. I wouldn’t buy them again

For whatever reason my Bridgestone tires always lasted half of their warranty if that, and generally sucked all around.
