Tires BRIDGESTONE or Maxxis

Set of staggered Bridgestone Blizzak tires, used for one season in Colorado (<5k miles), no longer need them. These came off a 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 with the 19 inch wheels. They worked great for us in Colorado.

Blizzak WS90. Hands down, best winter tire for cars.

But recently tried the Bridgestone Blizzak DM 2 very nice ride.

I love the WS80s on my SX4 though.

I have Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 (18”) on factory wheels on my 2024 Taos SE and only once, as I was approaching 50 mph, did I get that vibration. I got out, checked my wheels, and noticed some snow buildup between the wheel and the brakes (rear wheels, fronts were fine). I cleaned it out and the problem went away.

Aside from Canada 2010, can confirm, Bridgestone tires are durable and great. Own a set on my road car. Well priced too. 10/10. Would equip again.

I basically encounter the same conditions in winter as you do. After having driven many years on winter tyres (Dunlop Winter Sport 5), I switched over to an all-season (Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6).

The benefits in my opinion are better responsiveness while turning in (less block movement of the thread) and the better longevity of the tyre, considering it has to somewhat withstand 30°C+ temperatures by design.

They are definitely not twice as good. I was riding a Rekon/Ardent race combo and replaced them with Fast Track/ Renegade while those were on sale and I don’t feel like I’ve had any drop in performance.

Finally got rid of them. They slide in the lightest snow. They also only lasted me 35k miles.

Have had my CX-30 through one Minnesota winter thus far on the stock Turanzas. Got through fine, but the car was also only about 4-5 months old at that time. I have already noticed some issues going into my second winter, one semi snowy day where nothing accumulated and I was sliding through roundabouts and was a little nervous about going around bends in the road.
