Tires BRIDGESTONE or Kleber

Couldn't find Michelin Pilot Alpin 5s in the size I needed so I tried the new Bridgestone Blizzak 6s and so far I'm very happy with them. Super stable on dry highways, Michelin X-Ice Snows were a wobbly mess that made me feel like I was in a boat.

Always had luck with general. But every car rides different currently my Impala likes Bridgestone, my previous vehicles ate Bridgestone.

I'm now on my 3rd winter on Blizzaks because Costco had a deal on them at the time and I thought I'd give them a try. I find them similar, but probably better from the standpoint that I used to be able to spin the X-Ices too easily taking off from a light in slippery conditions, and I can't say that I've noticed that issue as much with the Blizzaks.

For price and performance bridgestone blizzak dmv2. Hands down. You will have a different kind of confidence driving in that crap. Its night and day

OEM Bridgestone Alenza tires are known to be trash and the rears were completely done by ~17k miles. I have ~37k miles on the Michelin CrossClimates and the rears probably have another 20k left in them, fronts have another 30-40k left in them.

I drove from Halifax to vancouver island BC during the first week of Jan 2025, and it wasnt too bad. I have a 2018 ford f250 with 4x4 and bridgestone blizzak snow tires, and it was fine.

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.

The weatherpeak is a good tire but I find it struggles a bit in the dry/wet compared to other tires in the segment as a trade off for being really good in snow as an all season.

Those looked better but couldn’t be balanced. I got my money back because they had a defect.

For reference, crappy and expensive Bridgestone Alenzas (summer tires) were put on mine (21 inch)
