Tires BRIDGESTONE or Vredestein

so far they’re quiet, grippy under wet conditions & slightly better in handling & ride than the Dunlop Grandtrek that came with them. Haven’t driven them in snow yet…

Honestly, for that run rate, any good tire brand works. Bridgestone, MRF, Ceat.

I have used these for years and they offer great performance in the dry or snow

Blizzaks are the best for snow, x-ice are the best for ice. Depends on how you drive. If you’re late breaking all the time then you want x-ice for better braking grip, if you drive slow in the winter and plan your stops then blizzaks will have better acceleration traction.

I’m a winter tire guy. Have been since my MK6 TDI. I’ve never been stuck. With the manual transmission and grabby tires, I just rip through that shit. Vredstein set for me. “Performance” winter set.

I did not end up purchasing Vredestein (I was considering the HT), but it was the only tire I felt was worth the money below $250/tire that I was looking at, which was Continentals, Pirellis, and MIchelins. Agree they rate much better than similarly or cheaper-priced tires in most rankings.

I’ve been driving a Honda CRV with Bridgestone Blizzaks and haven’t had any issues.

I went through a set of Blizzaks in a year. I drove like 20k miles and didn’t change them in the summer.

I've hat them on for 30 thousand miles and they are crap they started rotten and extreme uneven wear.

Honestly as a parts guy that deals with tires ever day the worst part about that is the fact its a Bridgestone Alenza lol
