Tires BRIDGESTONE or Giti

For the past 3 winters I ran Michelin Xice, this year I went with Blizzak WS80s and man, they are on another level entirely.

same fxt same blizzaks - cant complain after 5 years of snowmobile like winter performance.

I've got Blizzaks on my WRX and I absolutely love them.

Liked the Blizzaks years ago in unplowed snow, but around here the issue is more slush and ice so partial to various offerings from Continental with more sipes and less aggressive tread pattern.

Blizzaks on my wrx, amazing in the snow and ice, and handle cold like a champ.

I have never been letdown by my RE-71R's! On my second set and never going back to Pilot Sports again.

On our V90 Cross Country, we grabbed a set of 18-Inch - 5-Double Spoke Alloy Wheel - Silver (Part # 31428595), put some Bridgestone Blizzack DM-V2's (235/55R18) on them. Car is rock solid in the snow.

When I was buying my tires, I did a ton of research and narrowed it down to Bridgestone Blizzak and Michelin X-Ice. I ended up getting the blizzaks and they're really awesome, so quiet and extremely effective. I wasn't just looking for a snow tire, but also one that performed well on slush (because Toronto ????). You'd be good on either of these tires.

I have the Giti's on my R-Line, and they are....barely adequate. I doubt I will wait long to replace them since I do a good bit of highway driving. They are noisy, so I will at least give them a few thousand miles to see how they wear and sound.

My re050a's were totally worn out at 11k Miles.
