i drive 2000-2500 miles a year and a set of firestone multihawks lasted me 3 years while driving like an absolute bellend flooring it every chance i got and being hard on the brakes. for £50 a tyre i think i did quite well considering i abused tf out of them.
I'm in Canada but my summer tires are Firehawk Indy 500s and they grip really well, even in the rain. Would definitely recommend.
I live in Wisconsin, used to switch snow tires to summer tires every year on my 2x4 2008 Ford ranger, I just went to the tire shop, asked for snow tires, had the Firestone ones, and some cheap ones off tire rack, both worked fine.
I've used the weathergrip on a subaru crosstrek before and was pretty happy with them. They lasted a good while and always got me where I had to go. Not nearly as much grip as a dedicated snow tire, but they were run year round and lasted 50k miles, so it's a decent compromise.
I run Firestone Indy 500. But I only drive it in the summer. Was the best Bang for my dollar up here.
Best AT's out there for snow that I've found is Firestone Destination XTs (exculding their AT2's due to your vehicle).
I ran Indy500 tires on my GTI and they are very good .
I had them on my excursion and while they do ride nice and look cool they will be a hit on mpg, as all AT tires will. And this is where you have to be honest with yourself, we all want to pretend that we take our SUV, off-road, and have adventures with it but, if I’m being real with myself, 95% of its time on road and that other 5% of the time is not a trail that would require an aggressive tire. I saw a decrease of 15% on both of the SUVs I traded a highway oriented tire for an AT tire. And in all honesty it’s definitely not worth that fuel economy loss. Yeah sure they look cool but now in my jeep grand Cherokee V6, I struggle to get 21 miles per gallon on the highway when on the OE tires I could easily get 25. That really adds up to a lot of Extra fuel
I currently have a set of Firestones on my car. I hate them. Noisest tire I have ever used, and they are leaving black marks on my garage floor. But they were cheep and that's all I could afford at the time. Never again.
I put Firestone All Season tires on my Wilderness after I got a $600 nail. Biggest mistake. They are crap.
I had the wheels aligned and rebalanced 200 miles after the new tires. They still vibrate and ride like crap as soon as I hit 70mph. Never had that problem with the stock tires.
