Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear

I was a fan of Bridgestones, had some turanza Serenities on my mk5 and before that my old 960 wagon.

Dramatically better traction, specifically when driving through parking lots that were plowed, but now there's 2-4 inches of loose snow you have to go through. Just driving out of the parking lot after installation I had way way better grip.

It's like going from 30% grip to 80% grip.

The improved snow traction is amazing. Living in Minnesota I will never put a tire without the 3Peak Mountain Snowflake Symbol on a car I own again

Bridgestone Driveguards if you want RFTs. driveguards are near silent unless you're in dire need of suspension work

Bridgestone Blizzaks or Michelin Crossclimate 2’s.

Love my Blizzaks. I live where we get 450” of snow.

Just got Blizzaks from Costco and they literally changed my life.

I have run blizzak ws90s. Honestly out of the 3 I feel like blizzak are the best compromise. Snow performance is good. Ice performance is not quite as good as studded obviously but still good.

Goodyear Wrangler Territory, decent in snow but I wouldn’t drive em in deep snow

Can’t comment on the Hankook’s but the Bridgestone Ecopias that came with my CRV (2019 EX AWD) are also terrible.

I just put new Goodyears on my trailer. One of the 4 was a GY Marathon and it feels so squishy and the sidewalls just feel weak compared to the other Chinese tires so its going in the trash for sure.
