Tires BRIDGESTONE or Nokia

I ran Duratracs on my truck for a few seasons and they did fine in the winter. Last season I got a set of Blizzaks for the winter and they're game changing! The Duratracs were good in the winter but the Blizzaks are insanely good! You can't beat a dedicated set of winter tires in my opinion!

I've been happy with all-weather (different from all-season tires) made by Nordman or Nokian tires. I use Nokain WRG4s. They are great for wet roads and some snow, but can have issues if the snow gets really packed down and slick. I find my tires maintain their thread life fairly well although you'll get less cumulative life out of them compared to switching between summer/winter tires.

I’ve run both KO2’s and Blizzaks for the winter on my truck and I travel to the mountains regularly. I fully recommend spending the extra money for a proper winter tire set. The KO2’s weren’t bad, but its night and day compared to the blizzaks

As for tires I would recommend 2024 stock for better brands like Bridgestone. Chinese tires will cause noise and easily a 10% drop in fuel economy. I've personally experienced this.

I had R3s on my previous vehicle (Tesla M3) and they were fantastic...I can only imagine the R5s are even better. They made a HUGE difference here in the Dakota winters.

All about the Blizzaks. They make driving safer, but also FUN.

Can verify this as true and correct! It is a stupid and hilarious machine in the snow. Mine is on Nokian R5s and I look forward to the snow each year.

The Bridgestone RE71RS is a 200tw performance tire. They will wear quickly - meaning you might get 10k miles out of them (give or take).

These tires are trash. Bought my Weatherpeaks 11 months ago, drove in Minnesota April 2024-March 2025, 15k miles since my purchase on a babied and garaged 2022 Jeep Compass - no daily commuting, no offroading, alignments and rotations as scheduled, inflated properly, suspension no issues, and I'm at 4/32 on the back, 5/32 on front - WTH these are 70k tires!

I will not buy  Nokian. Dry rot and cracking on sidewalls on 3000 miles. Didn't stand behind their warranty
