Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear

For my winter set I'm using the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 (205/55/r16) and while not as good in the snow as the Conti WinterContact, they handle amazingly in wet conditions (we get quite a bit of rain) and are relatively silent and good on fuel.

I would. Ran my 10 yr old Goodyear on the old RV til bald and one developed a crack after 2k miles but then I replaced them with Sailuns' TERRAMAX for another few thousand in 3 years and hit Colorado narrow trails in the 1977 class c sportsman those terra max amazed me.

Running 19” Goodyear assurance maxlife. Overall satisfied with these tires. One little quirk is they grab grooved pavement more than the stock Toyo’s. This causes a noticeable side to side sway in the car.

i got almost 6 years out of my goodyear assurance. little louder road noise, but i feel safe with them. towards the last few months of the old tires i could feel them slipping a little if i went over anything like sand, losing traction at startup, etc.

The Bridgestone is going to be faster. The nankang would probably wear a little bit better call and is more heat tolerant. But not as fast when cold, and also heavier. If you were happy with the Bridgestone I would have to say probably stay there

I have them on my ND2 and they're legitimately better than the stock summer bridgestones.

Eu uso Good Year e estou super contente com os pneus

I’ve driven a wide variety of winter tires. Bridgestone, GoodYear, Firestone, Cooper, Michelin, Continental, and one or two others. Some were quieter, some were better on ice, some were better in deep snow. None were terrible. If you go with major brand names, that are not much over 5 years old, you should be ok.

I wasn’t a fan of the original Bridgestones. They died an early death with just freeway driving due to a track focused wheel alignment.

The problem with LRR tires is they suck at doing the things you need a tire to do, like braking and cornering. I once put a set of Bridgestone Ecopias on a Mazda5... A FWD minivan with 153 Horsepower should not be able to spin the tires all the way through 1st and 2nd gears taking off from a stop sign.
