Tires BRIDGESTONE or OEM FORD

Bridgestone Blizzaks or Michelin Crossclimate 2’s.

Love my Blizzaks. I live where we get 450” of snow.

Just got Blizzaks from Costco and they literally changed my life.

I have run blizzak ws90s. Honestly out of the 3 I feel like blizzak are the best compromise. Snow performance is good. Ice performance is not quite as good as studded obviously but still good.

I have Blizzaks they're amazing. They are also studdless. So they are quiet. I am a serious skier. I have never not made it to the mountain with my Blizzaks.

Got new Weatherpeaks installed and drove through fresh snow and slush today. Hit the brakes and the ABS barely engaged. Handling was great but then again they're new.

I just got mine couple of days ago. The tires did well on slushy road.

Bridgestones are top rated. Ive been using them for 20 years in Minnesota (brutal road conditions) so incredibly superior to regular summer/all weather tires.

I have 225/45r16 on mine. Only have rubbing with the fender going over medium to large bumps at speed. I've had small slivers eaten out of the same area. I'm on my second set of 225's. No significant issues.

I was unfortunate to receive my GTI with a set of the RE97AS's. Rough surfaces are the worst - makes everything in the car rattle or vibrate. Dry grip is quite poor (as others have mentioned), bad breakaway even at low throttle inputs. At cruising speeds on newer highways (rubberized asphalt) everything seems fine.
