Tires BRIDGESTONE or Shinko

Bought a set of Blizzak WS90s two years ago and they have tons of tread left after two seasons. Wear obviously depends on how you drive, but mine have held up great for regular commuting and trips to the valley. Very good at handling deep snow, never got stuck.

The Blizzaks always performed better, in my experience, and my WS90s have lasted just fine. I’m not sure how they’d be considered bad on dry roads, can’t say I’ve had any issues.

I had WS80s for a few years with no issues.

Blizzak tires are golden lasted 7 years.

I’ve got blizzaks on both vehicles. Only ran generic winter tires before that and the improvement was crazy.

Paid a pretty penny for my WS90s, going on sixth winter still good shape

Have had great experience with the Blizzak WS-90s

Bridgestone tires are usually a good balance of performance and cost.

But you will almost certainly trade off some road noise and comfort.

I got Alenza 275 50/22r as OEM and they are terrible in even the lightest snow. My car is a 2024 escalade ESV 4WD, which should be able to handle light snow, but yesterday I was cornering at 10mph I lost control of the car on 4WD, with probably 1/5 inch of snow on the ground.

I’m also experiencing the same poor tread life with the Weatherpeaks at 16,000 miles. I’m actually slipping on turns now and plan on using the warranty for a replacement. I don’t feel good about these tires.
