Tires Hankook or BRIDGESTONE

My one experience with Bridgestone was excellent on a Ford Expedition. Got 65k out of them an excellent traction.

I have Bridgestone Potenza RE71R's on my Z and the grip is phenominal. Its a summer tire though and they can be slippery in low temps so take that into consideration

Go with the 215 and save some money. You’ll have plenty of grip and be fine. I ran that size Blizzaks on my past WRXs.

Im running a set of hankook dynapro at3 extremes. I love the white lettering and they honestly have been performing great. Kick butt in the snow and they are super quiet on the highway

When it comes to brands, best ones are Bridgestone, but remain the costliest along with Michelin. MRF, CEAT and Apollo offer similar cost and have average lifecycle and performance.

My AWD Sienna hybrid is great in the Chicago snow on the stock Bridgestone tires. I love it.

I’ve used Bridgestone blizzaks, Michelin x-ice, Michelin cross climate 2s, and Continental VikingContact 7s.

Personally I liked the VikingContact 7s the best; I felt like they had the most traction and gave the best feeling of confidence. The Blizzaks felt very soft, degraded fast, and had poorer performance in the warmer conditions

I've had Hakkas, X-Ice and Blizzaks.

Blizzaks seemed to degrade the worst of the bunch and performance fell off faster than the X-ice and hakkas.

When I had those tires mounted on my 3, they wore extremely rapidly - so much so that the rep at Discount Tire was surprised.

Worse tires I've ever had was a set of hankook tires, as soon as they got a drop of water on them they would feel like you're driving on ice
