Tires BRIDGESTONE or OEM FORD

The best winter tires I’ve ever driven with are Bridgestone Blizzak

I have blizzaks 225/60R18 on aftermarket rims. Have been very happy with them in the past. We get lots of snow and live on a farm. Have gone through 2 winters.

Everyone says they're mid but I've yet to lose any sort of traction wet or dry. And I've tried.

have previously tried pilot support 4 but they didn't quite work as well on my car on initial turn in and wore a bit faster but both tyres are amazing in all conditions.

I'm happy with them so far, but they do wear faster.

Huge upgrade from the Michelins I had, which were horrible for fuel economy.

The Bridgestone Weatherpeak is a better option. The WeatherPeaks have the advantage of being able to be actually rotated correctly.

I ran R11s for a while before switching to slicks. They are about as close in profile as you can get when compared to slicks. My only gripe is that they overheated really quickly, to the point where regular slicks last 2-3x as long.

Gonna say running north of 100mph on mismatched budget sub-brand bridgestones is adding a margin of error where you cant really afford one.

I remember going hot into a turn, getting on the brakes, and sliding sideways with no warning. It wasn't that fast, but still a bit disturbing. I replaced them this year with a much newer set of S04 PP.
