Tires BRIDGESTONE or Sava

Bridgestone Blizzarks winter tires. I drive 80miles round trip to work daily.

I had brand new Destination LE2 A/S tires and was sliding all over Rt.247 one crazy winter night. And then got Blizzaks put on... I hit that same area again, with snow and was a night and day difference, no more slippy slidey fun time for me !!

I'm a mechanic in Canada, I see all sorts of winter tires. Having driven on many different brands and styles, I recommend bridgestone blizzak over all others if you can afford it.

Nokian Hakkas, Toyo Observe GSi-5 and 6, Blizzaks have been the go-tos on all of our vehicles and among my family.

RE71R’s or full Hoosier slicky boys if I’m feeling spicy and really wanna set a PB.

Canadian here, winter tires are good enough for most driving on ice and snow. I've got a set of Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires on my Ford Edge FWD and it goes through all conditions just fine.

+1 for the Bridgestone Weatherpeaks. They are also symmetrical / non - directional so you can have a full size spare and do 5 tire rotation. I run them on my 09 STI in the northeast.

I use Bridgestone RE71Rs for both track/street and they are great!

My opinion is that these are very mild offroad tires. Better than regular street tires with slight improvement for off pavement. But on my Tacoma, the tires would spin quite easily in loose dirt going up hill on an 6-8 degree grade.

I just turned 500 miles on the Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS that came on my SE. While they are far from the worst tire, I can't help but feel that it's a terrible match for the GTI. Even with the traction control, it's struggling to get any kind of grip off the line, and I'm talking like quarter throttle. On a brighter note, they don't squeal much around turns and are relatively quiet.
