Tires BRIDGESTONE or Nokia

From personal experience - go for Bridgestone Turanza 6i.

Bridgestone Blizzak. On par with the x-ice and cheaper.

Nokian seasonproof 2 are way to go, nokian is quieter and pattern on them are unique they have central canals for aqualpaning like summer tyres and the treads like winter tyres. I've never seen this before on any allseason tyre brend.

I live in a ski town BC, that averages >30 FEET of snowfall annually. Often roads have caked snow, sluff, sleet & ice. Between dodging tourists, wildlife and staying firmy lodged, I don't dick around. I get the best. Studded Hakka's 10, that just replaced a set that I had about 30-35,000km on.

I just put on a set of Hakka R5s for the winter and the difference in road noise was startling - like driving a whole new vehicle.

I only buy Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for snow, currently have the R5 SUV on my Pathfinder and R5 on my Legacy.

Honda worked with Bridgestone to make the RE92 tire for the very efficient Honda Insight.

Made roughly a 10mpg difference vs other tires.

Supercat by Bridgestone last quite a while like 40,000 just don’t push them on a wet day.

For a pickup or heavy vehicle no way, I have Nokians on my 17 Ford F350 can't wait to get them off, still have 50% according to the wear indicator, been driving for over 40 years and they are the worst tires I have ever had. This experience with Nokians has instilled a real dislike for the brand.

I would. Those Bridgestones are plain terrible, notorious for the feathering around the shoulders. Put some Pilot Sport 5 Michelins on it and don’t look back.
