Tires BRIDGESTONE or OEM FORD

I got Blizzaks last winter and they’ve been amazing. Last year I drove across MI (5 hours) in a severe snowstorm warning (1ft+ snow) and a snow squall warning. I must have passed close to 100 cars/trucks in ditches. I never felt unsafe traction wise, I was planted. My Dad also had them on his old Charger 392 years ago and we took it ice fishing. Since then i’ve loved Blizzaks.

so far they’re quiet, grippy under wet conditions & slightly better in handling & ride than the Dunlop Grandtrek that came with them. Haven’t driven them in snow yet…

Honestly, for that run rate, any good tire brand works. Bridgestone, MRF, Ceat.

Blizzaks are the best for snow, x-ice are the best for ice. Depends on how you drive. If you’re late breaking all the time then you want x-ice for better braking grip, if you drive slow in the winter and plan your stops then blizzaks will have better acceleration traction.

I’ve been driving a Honda CRV with Bridgestone Blizzaks and haven’t had any issues.

I vote for ws-90, those tires are unstoppable in our Ontario winters. Had them on my old mk4, my e60 550i bmw, and will be getting some now for my 7.5 GTI

What's your goal? To become a professional driver (regardless of it being profitable or not)? to find a new fun way to burn money? To live out a dream of driving a car you maybe can't afford on track? I did the drive an exotic before i had a car that was worth taking on track. It was a blast. I have more fun doing hpde now where I get significantly more track time (and get stuck with the cost of tires and rotors and brake pads and fixing things that break and trying to chase gremlins) . While the idea of racing is appealing the cost of racing is not but if that was a goal progressing towards a license and avoiding picking up any bad habits is your best bet.

I had Supercats for a while and they were meh at best but did the job.

Mine only lasted 30 thousand miles and developed uneven where even after always rotated and balancing them. They are loud and they always feel unbalanced because they shake like crazy when cold.

I've hat them on for 30 thousand miles and they are crap they started rotten and extreme uneven wear.
