Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

But recently tried the Bridgestone Blizzak DM 2 very nice ride.

I love the WS80s on my SX4 though.

I have Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 (18”) on factory wheels on my 2024 Taos SE and only once, as I was approaching 50 mph, did I get that vibration. I got out, checked my wheels, and noticed some snow buildup between the wheel and the brakes (rear wheels, fronts were fine). I cleaned it out and the problem went away.

Aside from Canada 2010, can confirm, Bridgestone tires are durable and great. Own a set on my road car. Well priced too. 10/10. Would equip again.

I would also recommend looking at the Nokian one and Michelin defender2.

The michelin defender 2 is rated for 70 or 80k miles, and is generally very quiet.

Upgrade them to michellin pilot sports all season worth every penny. More grip for that torque!

If you run 17 inch, go for 215/45R17. Get the Michelin Pilot sport 4s or 5, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym 6, or Conti Sportcontact 7/extremecontact (depends if you're in EU or US). Those are the best allround tires you can get. 215/45 offers a bit more contact and a bit more comfort

I have the Pilot Sports now and the most annoying thing is they get small flat spots in just 8hrs of being parked overnight or at work. They work themselves back out after a few minutes of driving but it’s something I’ve never felt with any other tire.

My problem with Michelin is the tires are just too soft, they wear a lot faster than some of the tougher tire brands
