Tires BRIDGESTONE or WEST LAKE

For price and performance bridgestone blizzak dmv2. Hands down. You will have a different kind of confidence driving in that crap. Its night and day

OEM Bridgestone Alenza tires are known to be trash and the rears were completely done by ~17k miles. I have ~37k miles on the Michelin CrossClimates and the rears probably have another 20k left in them, fronts have another 30-40k left in them.

I drove from Halifax to vancouver island BC during the first week of Jan 2025, and it wasnt too bad. I have a 2018 ford f250 with 4x4 and bridgestone blizzak snow tires, and it was fine.

For Illinois daily driving, I\u2019d go with the Bridgestone WeatherPeak out of the three you listed it\u2019s been the most consistent in wet + light-snow grip and rides smoother than the Contis or the BFGs. I swapped to WeatherPeaks earlier this year and they\u2019ve handled Midwest rain and early flurries way better than my old set.

I have Blizzaks on my AWD BMWs right now, and it makes a huge difference.

If you NEED a great snow tire, nothing beats winter forces or blizzaks.

The Bridgestones aren't terri-bad but I'll be happy when it comes time to swap them out for some DWS06+ instead.

Factory Bridgestone tires are about worn out.

For whatever reason my Bridgestone tires always lasted half of their warranty if that, and generally sucked all around.

Just after 22,000 miles on the factory Bridgestones. My tires already needed to be replaced. 5/32 tread life left but I also had some inner tire wear going on.
