Tires BRIDGESTONE or SUMITOMO

I have the Sumitomo Encounter AT's on my frontier. Good reasonably priced tire.

I love the bridgestone potenza RE-71RS

I use Bridgestone Turanza T005s. They harden really fast if you don't take care of it, but they are very good for daily driving and last quite well if you take care of it.

The stones have been a cheater tire for me in a sense that they communicate so well, they handle abuse of inputs, when they give up grip, they’re very gradual and you feel a slide coming. And when you do lose traction, the slide is controllable to get back into grip. There’s a reason they’re at the spear tip of auto cross.

I ran Blizzaks over the last few years.

Bridgestone does everything really well (except snow) and have been the tires that Ive bought repeatedly to cut out the guesswork.

Bridgestone blizzaks are my absolute favorite winter tire, tons of traction!

I've had my Alenza A/S ultras for just under 30k miles and they're effectively done. They were great tires but didn't last anywhere close to the 80k miles. I drove in dry, wet, hot and cold conditions, on good roads and bad and had no issues other than wear.

What I have observed is - when I go beyond 100 kmph, I sense vibrations from the tires. I did not face this while I was on my factory 19" tires (Goodyear tires). This was not a one-time thing, on different road conditions, different temperatures, I felt the same vibrations when the speed goes beyond 100-105 kmph. I think it is because of the tires, I can also sense the vibrations on my steering wheel.

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.
