Tires BRIDGESTONE or Laufenn

At 45 degrees and below a regular all season tire will start to harden and lose grip, even on bare pavement. If you live somewhere where it gets cold get the Blizzaks

They are fine. After we moved to Phoenix from Idaho I put them on every winter just to use them up and they lasted quite a few years - they still had lots of tread left when I got tired of storing them every year

I love me my Bridgestone Weatherpeaks all-weather tiresI live in Southern California near the beach where it doesn’t snow, but make frequent road trips during the winter to Mammoth and Big Bear where it can snow heavily at times. 70 degree weather to drive to the 20-30 degree mountains in snowy conditions and these handle like a beast.

If you want the best, Michelin X-Ice are considered the best for icy conditions and Bridgestone Blizzaks are the best for deeper snow. I'm on my 2nd set of Blizzaks and I loooovvee them. I get excited when it snows hard so I can get some snow driving and hand brake turns in.

But for A/T and H/T tires, I have been using Bridgestones for the longest time now.

I chose the Bridgestone weatherpeaks for my 21 forester. They were great in the rain on the highway and on dry gravel/dirt roads.

Bridgestone winter tires are better quality than the Firestone Winter Force unless you're looking to have them studded.

Like the Bridgestone Turanza 6 is pretty damn good, it's probably the best summer touring tyre on the market right now. Comfort and low noise typical of a touring tyre, with performance approaching a UHP.

I currently use these tires. They're rated to last 60,000 miles but I don't think they lasted more than 30,000 or 2 years for me.

It took me till the day after the first snow when I slid through a red light. They are literal slicks. Get snow tires! Blizzaks make winter magical
