Tires BRIDGESTONE or MRF

Bought these tires for my Mazda 3 after one of my OEM Bridgestone EL440’s got pregnant(sidewall bulge), and I plugged a puncture in the other one. Decided to just replace the tires completely.

So far I’m happy with them.

Pros:

- Severe snow rating so they are legally snow tires in my state(for mountain passes and stuff), and I’m guessing the snow traction is way better. They are still all season tires though.

- Seems to be a softer ride overall even on the stock 18” side.

- XL sidewall strength, vs the stock tires being standard. Should help with those sidewall issues.

- They seem fairly quiet as far as noise.

- $150 rebate in addition to being fairly cheap

Cons:

- These are definitely not for those people who want sporty handling, they don’t really feel like a sport tire, and are more of a touring road tire.

- I’ve heard the treadwear isn’t the best(makes sense with the snow rating)

I had the Bridgestone Revo 3 in my last truck and they did great. And they have a 60k mileage warranty. I got 70k out of them. Before my truck was totaled. Probably had another 15k on them.

I’ve run Blizzaks in Colorado the past two winters. They’re pretty good but I’m digging the Michelins more and more and will probably replace them next winter

With any car including the Kia Niro EV. It's always the best bet to go with Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzack. They're the highest rated and I have driven them on snowy, hilly roads and they seem to have the best grip.

I have an ADV Rear tire on my Fat Boy, and a Cruiser tire on the back.

Both Bridgestone.

They've been great tires.

I have a 2019 SQ5, stock is 255/40 R21 but I found a deal on 245/45 R20 99V LM-32 Bridgestone Blizzaks.

I have the Bridgestone Weather Peaks and I love them. I drive mainly in Oklahoma and Texas and see a large variety of weather and terrain and have never had an issue at all. They are rock solid in the wet and do very well off-road as well. I didn't take a mileage hit like you see with the Falkens either. I average about 2,800 miles a month in my 21 premium and these have performed way beyond my expectations.

I have the original 20” Bridgestones on my 21, with about 20k miles. Should be good for another 5k or so. Not great tires, but fairly typical OEM tires for me.

Once I got a chance to try them in the rain, I realized there was a problem compared to Michelin. I was fishtailing all over the place on a wet road. That’s never happened to me with Michelin.

These are my winter tires in Michigan. Seasonal roads only, they suck otherwise for off-roading.
