Tires BRIDGESTONE or Kumho

I’ve ran blizzaks on my last three cars, and now my truck. Excellent tires.

I've found them pretty good on my GR. They're doing essentially the same lap time as the A052s.

Made in South Korea, and original equipment on Hyundai's and Kia's. I have been using them for years, excellent choice.

I’ve had both Blizzaks and X-Ice and I prefer the X-Ice. I think they’re better on ice and Blizzaks are better on snow. So if you’re driving city streets it’s ice you need to worry about, not snow.

I have the blizzaks, going into second and I really like them for my golf.

I drove my rear wheel drive Ford Ranger for many years but I had a set of Blizzaks

Just did the RE71RS tires on mine and it feels fantastic, did toyo r888rs last, they’re much better then those.

There was about 3-4 mm of tread left on the tires when I replaced the original Bridgestone S005s (with 7,000 miles including one track day). I had a track day coming up so I wanted fresh tires but might have got a little more life if I really pushed them. I remember reading reviews on Tire Rack's website about people getting similarly short life out of them (maybe the other alternative OEM tires fare better but they're all 240 TW). I replaced the Bridgestones with Michelin PS4S (300 TW), so it will be interesting to see how they do. To be honest, on previous cars, I've never got more than about 25,000 miles our of HP or UHP all-season tires with 500-600 TW ratings so the 7,000 - 8,000 miles for these didn't surprise me.

What I have observed is - when I go beyond 100 kmph, I sense vibrations from the tires. I did not face this while I was on my factory 19" tires (Goodyear tires). This was not a one-time thing, on different road conditions, different temperatures, I felt the same vibrations when the speed goes beyond 100-105 kmph. I think it is because of the tires, I can also sense the vibrations on my steering wheel.

I got Alenza 275 50/22r as OEM and they are terrible in even the lightest snow. My car is a 2024 escalade ESV 4WD, which should be able to handle light snow, but yesterday I was cornering at 10mph I lost control of the car on 4WD, with probably 1/5 inch of snow on the ground.
