Tires BRIDGESTONE or WEST LAKE

I actually have used both the weatherpeak and cross climate 2 tires, the cliff notes are, the bridgestones are quieter and have no fuel economy penalty, they also handle better

For SUV, I prefer Bridgestone Dueler, good quality tires for offroading and highway use.

I am using a Westlake 265/65/17 SU318 tires for my Ford Ranger, and quite honestly it performs better than my previous fitted Goodyear and my Bridgestone Dueler HT.

Now I’m using Bridgestone Dueler HT 840 which is also great and comfortable and more sturdy than the Khumo.

Used Westlake on Hyundai Tucson. Lasted 7 years. No problems.

Eu andei com West Lake durante 2 anos com um Up e + 1 ano e meio com um i30 e mesmo na chuva me passavam muita confiança.

I just put these on our Commodore in 245/45R18. They replaced a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE003's. Initial impression is that they aren't any noisier than the Potenza's, possibly a bit quieter. Haven't driven in a heavy rain yet but the performance on slick roads was also good. My biggest concern is that they were going to totally spoil the handling but cornering at civilised speeds is still satisfying. Certainly they don't have anywhere near the dry grip of the Potenza's but they're fine for everyday use.

I’ve driven a wide variety of winter tires. Bridgestone, GoodYear, Firestone, Cooper, Michelin, Continental, and one or two others. Some were quieter, some were better on ice, some were better in deep snow. None were terrible. If you go with major brand names, that are not much over 5 years old, you should be ok.

I wasn’t a fan of the original Bridgestones. They died an early death with just freeway driving due to a track focused wheel alignment.

The problem with LRR tires is they suck at doing the things you need a tire to do, like braking and cornering. I once put a set of Bridgestone Ecopias on a Mazda5... A FWD minivan with 153 Horsepower should not be able to spin the tires all the way through 1st and 2nd gears taking off from a stop sign.
