Tires BRIDGESTONE or NANKANG

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've been on the 245/40/15 CRS V2s for all this season - on the front of a FWD (A052s on the rear). I got somewhere around 120 runs out of them and they felt pretty good right up until the end.

I ran a pair of 225/45-15 CRS this year. Good grip, didn't mind getting hot, wore quickly.

Did a quick look up on the tires, they’re Bridgestone alensa 001’s, which are a street/sport truck summer tire with a 300tw rating…looking at almost 2k for a new set

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.
