Tires BRIDGESTONE or OEM Volkswagen

25 iX, 21' Bridgestone Alenza, got 9k. 70 city/30 highway, Southern CA. Replaced them with Hankook EVO. So far liking them way more.

I really like my Bridgestone potenza 980(bunch of letters)

I have some blizzak’s for pure snow and they perform extremely well but they’ve been in storage the last couple years because of the lack of snow. The compound is super soft and I don’t like driving on the pavement with them.

From a drive to work yesterday at about 24 deg F on Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 winter tires = 2.9 mi/kwh. The Blizzaks are very grippy. Next time I need new tires, im going to try the Nokian hakkapeliitta r5. I think I read somewhere they have a better efficiency.

I got the new Bridgestones from Tirerack, I really like them.

I have Blizzaks and compared to true studded winter tires like Nokian they are not on the same level. But if you dont have ice and snow all the time they have good wet grip.

Hoping the Bridgestones are better in the wet on this new compound. I hate swapping from yokes to stones and mess up my timing.

I swapped to 19x8.5 Atomic AW21 wheels (21.3 lbs) with Bridgestone Blizzak 6 XL 235/55R19 tires. So it is a more narrow tire. After noticing my battery percentage dropping surprisingly fast on short trips, I put on the energy app some today and see I'm now using nearly 500 Wh/mi on that same day to day driving. I expected snow tires to have worse rolling resistance, but this seems like a lot. 50% more energy usage equates to a 33% reduction in range. Does that seem normal or excessive?

As someone who owns a ID4 that was in the shop for two weeks for a batter module replacement. I was able to get one of these EVs as a loaner. I was shocked it came with the crappy Bridgestone Alenza tires. My word of advice, get rid of them ASAP. Mine back tires did not last 20k miles.
