Tires BRIDGESTONE or LANDSAIL

I have blizzaks 225/60R18 on aftermarket rims. Have been very happy with them in the past. We get lots of snow and live on a farm. Have gone through 2 winters.

Everyone says they're mid but I've yet to lose any sort of traction wet or dry. And I've tried.

have previously tried pilot support 4 but they didn't quite work as well on my car on initial turn in and wore a bit faster but both tyres are amazing in all conditions.

I'm happy with them so far, but they do wear faster.

Huge upgrade from the Michelins I had, which were horrible for fuel economy.

The Bridgestone Weatherpeak is a better option. The WeatherPeaks have the advantage of being able to be actually rotated correctly.

Currently I’m running Bridgestone Potenza all season and they are good overall. Not as grippy as the continental, but unless you’re doing track days or a lot of street racing, you won’t really notice any difference. They’ve been comfortable and give pretty much the same MPG as the continentals I had before.

Arivo feels like it would wear out in about a year of good use. My last bridgestone got to around 38k km (5years ++) of use. Im currently using bridgestone ecopia and personally i have no qualms with it

Ran the blizzaks through 4-6 inches of snow and was barely making it through that. I never had less confidence in the snow than on those WS80 blizzaks. They were almost worse than the Sotozorro 3’s I had on my R two winters ago. Those I’ll excuse those because they were at least OK in the dry, otherwise they were pretty terrible in anything but light snow.

I had blizzaks for a few seasons after a set of very good dunlops. I was severely dissatisfied in the e blizzak performance. Not only did they wear quickly but they were awful in the snow and dry. We have X-ices on the Tiguan and they are far superior to the blizzaks.
