Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear

Goodyear WeatherReadys are pretty good for all year. If you live on the western side of the state you might want some dedicated snow tires.

I just bought the Bridgestone prestige. It’s a brand new model with few reviews. It’s an all weather that is supposed to be quiet. I only have a couple hundred miles in it so far, but it is quiet and I have been happy with it.

25 iX, 21' Bridgestone Alenza, got 9k. 70 city/30 highway, Southern CA. Replaced them with Hankook EVO. So far liking them way more.

20” Goodyear Eagles. 23k miles with 4/32 tread before I replaced them. Guess 50/50 city/highway. Southeast US.

I really like my Bridgestone potenza 980(bunch of letters)

Goodyear weatherready assurance 2 tires. That is what i am riding on my 24. Great tires.

Something similar happened to my 2016 Civic EX sedan when I switched from the OEM tires, Firestone FT140, at 76,000 miles, to Goodyear Assurance MaxLife tires in October, 2022. I was averaging just under 40 MPG (calculated, NOT using the trip computer) to just under 35 MPG, also with no change in driving habits or routes.

I've used Nokians for years but tried Blizzak WS-90s this time around because they were a fair bit less expensive. They seem fine but seem to have noticeably more rolling resistance than the Nokian, and I notice it's easier to spin them starting up on dry pavement in cold weather than I'd experienced with Nokian in the past. I'll be switching back to whatever Hakkapeliitta is current once these are worn out.

I swapped to 19x8.5 Atomic AW21 wheels (21.3 lbs) with Bridgestone Blizzak 6 XL 235/55R19 tires. So it is a more narrow tire. After noticing my battery percentage dropping surprisingly fast on short trips, I put on the energy app some today and see I'm now using nearly 500 Wh/mi on that same day to day driving. I expected snow tires to have worse rolling resistance, but this seems like a lot. 50% more energy usage equates to a 33% reduction in range. Does that seem normal or excessive?

Goodyear tires are notorious for doing this. Several factors play a role on why this happens. Overweight from running low air pressure, vehicle sitting for a period of time in the sun.
