Tires BRIDGESTONE or Vredestein

Worked in a tire shop for 10 years now and hate basically all Bridgestone. You can essentially cut whatever mileage warranty they put on the tire in half. They may ride well but longevity is definitely not something Bridgestone strives for. Michelin on the other hand will usually last the full warranty and if properly taken care of last well beyond that. I've had a lot of good feedback on the cc2 and went to a class based around them and all terrain tires. They performed phenomenal on the wet track we did.

Vredestein Wintrac fahre ich in der Dimension als Winterreifen. Ausgesprochen guter Reifen.

Just bought a set of Ultrac Pro XLs for my 2013 Porsche Carrera S. Can't imagine Michelins being any better. Smooth, quiet, and great traction. I haven't really pused it with these tires, but smoothness through spirited corners feels excellent.

Bridgestone Blizzacks are incredible

I bought a set of CX90 19" wheels for my CX70 to put a set of 255/55/19 Bridgestone Blizzaks snow tires I got from Tire Rack for only $505 shipped!

The bridgestones The bridgestones are quieter and handle better in the in the dry they are still good in the wet but you can tell not quite to the cross climate level I see no real fuel penalty The acceleration in the snow is good and the braking's good with maybe a little less lateral traction than the michelins

My personal pick is the RE004, quiet ride, grippy compound in the dry and wet, reasonably priced, but wears a bit faster than eco tires. Worth it kasi mas tahimik ride. I also drive the same gen Vios. Naka ~13k kms ako before it needed replacing. Yun din pinalit ko ulit.

We swapped in snow tires (blizzaks) and took a 20% efficiency hit, so your reported 33% is definitely worse but still in the same ballpark.

Finally got rid of them. They slide in the lightest snow. They also only lasted me 35k miles.

Have had my CX-30 through one Minnesota winter thus far on the stock Turanzas. Got through fine, but the car was also only about 4-5 months old at that time. I have already noticed some issues going into my second winter, one semi snowy day where nothing accumulated and I was sliding through roundabouts and was a little nervous about going around bends in the road.
