Tires BRIDGESTONE or Nokia

My AWD Sienna hybrid is great in the Chicago snow on the stock Bridgestone tires. I love it.

I got some cheaper wheels from tire rack that are “winter rated” 18x8.5 +35 squared setup and Blizzaks. It will be worth the investment.

i just went from 235/55 Wildpeaks (my 3-season tires) on the stock 17x8-inch rims to 215/60 Nokian R5's on 17x6.5 rims for winter on a lifted VB. My weight per corner went from 54/lbs to 41lbs.

I just tried it and the steering feels lighter; it tracks better on the highway; and it's quieter.

I noticed the wiper issue on mine in February when I first got the truck. It's pretty annoying. You can get around it like others mentioned but I've heard some users report they've chipped the hood paint doing it so I don't' bother.

I'm also in NS by the way as I see you mentioned that in the comments. Those the stock tires you still running? I ordered steelies and Bridgestone Blizzaks for mine a few weeks ago. Just under $1,400 which isn't cheap but they are great tires in the snow and ice. Handled the snow like a champ today. I also have the same vent shades. They are amazing.

Bridgestone last absolutely ages and are brilliant in the wet, it’s what I have on my merc

I have Nokian WRG4's on my 2015 Honda Accord and it feels glued to the road. I have been using it as my ski vehicle the last couple years and it has performed great with those tires.

I just got some Bridgestone DESTINATION LE3. They’re holding up really well so far, a lot better than my stock tires.

I was considering the blizzak6 which are available in my size for both front and rear but might be overkill for most of the rest of the winter and likely counterproductive, so figured all seasons might be for the best. Choice of all season tyres is very limited, especially for the rear size, pretty much down to All season contact 2s but there’s a lot of feedback online about how they don’t feel particularly responsive on the front when steering which has me a bit concerned, so was thinking maybe of going cross climate 3 sports on the front and all season contact 2 at the back.

Há uns 20 e tal anos meti uns nokian. Ter 4 pneus ou 4 blocos de plástico era a mesma coisa. Só descobri a diferença quando tive um furo e meti 4 Potenza que estavam em promoção. Que diferença! E em vez de deslizar rotundas… sim aquilo deslizava.

Bridgestones are meh and overpriced. Ecopias are just meh.
