Tires Kumho or Firestone
Firestone weathergrip on a Ford ecosport and they work well. Ive done Banff on snowy days and down to Radium as well .As always drive with extra caution.
I've been getting good service, tires and otherwise, from Firestone for literally decades. Many locations for ongoing service needs and access to history, good road hazard warranty protection, relatively good with appointment timing.
Incredibly lucky. Send those to Kumho, they would happily use these photos.
I'm currently running Firehawk Indy 500 Performance tires as all seasons and they do well enough in small amounts of snow
I've only driven on them for 30 miles but holy crap are these things amazing. These winters grip better in the cold than the crappy Firestone summers my car came on grip the warm. I'm able to launch a 0-60 with minimal wheel spin and without chirping the tires on the 1-2 shift. These are also softer and quieter than any Blizzaks or X-Ice Snows I've had. They're soft and squishy and compliant. They give a great ride and still retain some steering feedback.
I use kumho w my sportage. Theyre quiet and lasts long.
My Kumho Crugen tires lasted 32k miles.
I ran V730s for the entire year last year on an STU M340i xDrive. It's a heavy car that can really put heat into the kumhos and the awd helped with v730's abysmal traction. It is as fast as the big 2 in the tight corners however judging by my GPS and accelerometer data.
I would almost never recommend firehawks. They wear like shit
I’ve had both the firestones and pilot sports on my corvette. The wet weather grip on the PS is much better. I would fishtail pretty regularly with the firestones. Would not recommend if you plan to drive in the rain.
