Tires BRIDGESTONE or Kumho

If you want to increase traction you need to get top tier quality such as blizzak ws90 or michelin ice-x

If you end up choosing real winters then Blizzaks or X-Ice genuinely transform the car as I ran Blizzaks on my old RWD coupe when I lived near Ann Arbor and it went from borderline undriveable to genuinely confident on unplowed roads.

Bridgestone ecopia 300 is really quiet compared to my stock maxiss tires

I strongly recommend proper winter tires. At a minimum, at least get winter rated all weather tires. We had a lot of slushy bullshit build up today. The only reason I was able to get out of my neighborhood & make it to a Dr's appointment was because I run Blizzaks on my ND1.

I'm using Kum-hos Solus Majesty Ta91 275s. They're $181 each at Discount Tire and haven't encountered any issues while driving in hard rain on the highway

I put a set of Kumho all weather with three peaks on my wife’s Elantra. Honestly they’re great. Are they as good as dedicated winters? No, obviously not but they’re damn good and capable.

Replaced all four tires recently with Bridgestone terenza as I got a deal at Costco.

Tires are quiet and all that but my efficiency has dropped. With continental an average wh/mi was 210-240, same with Bridgestone is 270-300.

Used Kumho’s brand just fine in the past. But been several years as other tires I’ve looked at had better wet traction / price for my specific tire size so I’ve opted for others more recently.

I have not had good experience with this brand. They came on my wife’s car and started hydroplaning terribly after about 8,000 miles.

I think they’re too loud on the road. Also, they wear out very quickly
