Tires Hankook or BRIDGESTONE

same fxt same blizzaks - cant complain after 5 years of snowmobile like winter performance.

I've got Blizzaks on my WRX and I absolutely love them.

Liked the Blizzaks years ago in unplowed snow, but around here the issue is more slush and ice so partial to various offerings from Continental with more sipes and less aggressive tread pattern.

Blizzaks on my wrx, amazing in the snow and ice, and handle cold like a champ.

I have never been letdown by my RE-71R's! On my second set and never going back to Pilot Sports again.

On our V90 Cross Country, we grabbed a set of 18-Inch - 5-Double Spoke Alloy Wheel - Silver (Part # 31428595), put some Bridgestone Blizzack DM-V2's (235/55R18) on them. Car is rock solid in the snow.

When I was buying my tires, I did a ton of research and narrowed it down to Bridgestone Blizzak and Michelin X-Ice. I ended up getting the blizzaks and they're really awesome, so quiet and extremely effective. I wasn't just looking for a snow tire, but also one that performed well on slush (because Toronto ????). You'd be good on either of these tires.

I have run both blizzaks and ice I have found the Ice last longer and seem to run quieter they are worth the cost

I feel that the Kinergy GT tires are mediocre at best for most conditions. Had them on our 2017 and they still had at least 4-5 32nds of tread when we turned in the lease at 38,000 miles, but at least 10k of those miles were with snow tires. I think 35-40k would be the max upper range and probably hitting the wear bars by then.

I was unfortunate to receive my GTI with a set of the RE97AS's. Rough surfaces are the worst - makes everything in the car rattle or vibrate. Dry grip is quite poor (as others have mentioned), bad breakaway even at low throttle inputs. At cruising speeds on newer highways (rubberized asphalt) everything seems fine.
