Tires NITTO or BRIDGESTONE

I've found them pretty good on my GR. They're doing essentially the same lap time as the A052s.

I’ve had both Blizzaks and X-Ice and I prefer the X-Ice. I think they’re better on ice and Blizzaks are better on snow. So if you’re driving city streets it’s ice you need to worry about, not snow.

Nittos no noise no vibration best tire out there

I have the blizzaks, going into second and I really like them for my golf.

I did 34s (275/65/20) Nitto G3s. Best upgrade without most of the cons. Better traction, better ride because pf more sidewall, no additional noise and just a 1-2mpg drop since they are very lightweight compared to other AT tires

I went slightly taller and narrower from stock 285/65/18 to 275/70/18 Nitto Terra Grappler G3 in SL load and they have been great. Low tire noise, low weight, more grip than factory wildpeaks, around the same gas mileage.

I drove my rear wheel drive Ford Ranger for many years but I had a set of Blizzaks

We swapped in snow tires (blizzaks) and took a 20% efficiency hit, so your reported 33% is definitely worse but still in the same ballpark.

I got Alenza 275 50/22r as OEM and they are terrible in even the lightest snow. My car is a 2024 escalade ESV 4WD, which should be able to handle light snow, but yesterday I was cornering at 10mph I lost control of the car on 4WD, with probably 1/5 inch of snow on the ground.

Yeah these are the worst tires I’ve ever owned. I’ve had mine for almost 3 years and notice this HS starting last year. I’m in Chicago area. Then.. last week i hit a pothole when it was pretty cold(that wasn’t even that bad of a pothole) that caused my side wall to tear. The durability on these tires is pathetic.
