For price and performance bridgestone blizzak dmv2. Hands down. You will have a different kind of confidence driving in that crap. Its night and day
OEM Bridgestone Alenza tires are known to be trash and the rears were completely done by ~17k miles. I have ~37k miles on the Michelin CrossClimates and the rears probably have another 20k left in them, fronts have another 30-40k left in them.
I drove from Halifax to vancouver island BC during the first week of Jan 2025, and it wasnt too bad. I have a 2018 ford f250 with 4x4 and bridgestone blizzak snow tires, and it was fine.
For Illinois daily driving, I\u2019d go with the Bridgestone WeatherPeak out of the three you listed it\u2019s been the most consistent in wet + light-snow grip and rides smoother than the Contis or the BFGs. I swapped to WeatherPeaks earlier this year and they\u2019ve handled Midwest rain and early flurries way better than my old set.
I have Sailun SH408 in 14 inch size. I am happy with them.
I have Blizzaks on my AWD BMWs right now, and it makes a huge difference.
I’ve used Bridgestone blizzaks, Michelin x-ice, Michelin cross climate 2s, and Continental VikingContact 7s.
Personally I liked the VikingContact 7s the best; I felt like they had the most traction and gave the best feeling of confidence. The Blizzaks felt very soft, degraded fast, and had poorer performance in the warmer conditions
I've had Hakkas, X-Ice and Blizzaks.
Blizzaks seemed to degrade the worst of the bunch and performance fell off faster than the X-ice and hakkas.
For whatever reason my Bridgestone tires always lasted half of their warranty if that, and generally sucked all around.
Just after 22,000 miles on the factory Bridgestones. My tires already needed to be replaced. 5/32 tread life left but I also had some inner tire wear going on.
