Tires OEM BMW or Firestone

Firestone Weathergrips are great tires. I had them on a 2011 Escape before it got hit by a retard. They handled an Alberta winter no problem, however my studded winters were obviously still better.

I have these on a BMW 528i and they’re great. Good responsive steering and is confident in canyon carving in Colorado. I disagree with every negative you listed.

I've had great luck with firehawk indy 500. They're 320 tw. I'm an okay intermediate driving a 2010 mx5. I'm not sliding the car around much at all.

They're great street tires and have been able to get more than 6 track days on them thus far. Tires still has more in them.

Firestone Indy 500 tires the car is sucked to the ground.

I have Firestone Winterhawk 4, and they are great. Its basically budget version of Blizzaks as they are owned by Bridgestone. I am in central Europe and we have mild and wet winters as well, my driving profile includes everything, I will do 500km on the highway, mountain pass and then city driving and they work perfectly. We have them on 3 cars already. I was thinking about something more premium, but I am perfectly happy with them.

I personally use 205/50r16 Firestone Winterforce 2's on my MK7 for Iowa Winters, it's a great tire and I've had little issues with it.

I currently have Firehawk AS V2's on mine. I live in an area that gets all four seasons, and they've served me well in the rain and snow/ice. I'm sure I'm sacrificing some summer performance, but that's pretty far from my priority. No issues with excessive wear or tire noise

Put these on my Tundra recently. Tire looks great but def a bit noisier than the Firestones.

These tires are terrible. I’m in MA and they struggle in light snow. Mine only have 32k miles but I’m replacing them asap because they are actually dangerously bad, even in 4WD

The Firestone destination le2 are straight garbage. Mine have 32k on them and they have zero grip in the snow, even in light powder snow. I might replace them before they are worn just because of how dangerous they are in wet and snowy conditions
