Tires OEM Chevrolet or BRIDGESTONE

We got Bridgestone Weatherpeaks instead. Not a full snow tire like the Blizzaks, but good snow performance for an all seasons set of tires.

Just get Blizzaks, by far the best bang for your buck winter tire, they will need to be swapped for your regular tires every year, but they are awesome in anything this state will throw at you. I have used them for years through several iterations on multiple vehicles.

I've run everything from the cheapest of cheap to high-end and can tell you there is a difference in performance. I drive a lot, so i now by all weather tires (Bridgestone currently) that are 4 season (incl snow rated).

I got a great deal on Bridgestone Weatherpeak at Costco. I felt very confident driving them in torrential rains last week.

Bought these tires for my Mazda 3 after one of my OEM Bridgestone EL440’s got pregnant(sidewall bulge), and I plugged a puncture in the other one. Decided to just replace the tires completely.

So far I’m happy with them.

Pros:

- Severe snow rating so they are legally snow tires in my state(for mountain passes and stuff), and I’m guessing the snow traction is way better. They are still all season tires though.

- Seems to be a softer ride overall even on the stock 18” side.

- XL sidewall strength, vs the stock tires being standard. Should help with those sidewall issues.

- They seem fairly quiet as far as noise.

- $150 rebate in addition to being fairly cheap

Cons:

- These are definitely not for those people who want sporty handling, they don’t really feel like a sport tire, and are more of a touring road tire.

- I’ve heard the treadwear isn’t the best(makes sense with the snow rating)

I had the Bridgestone Revo 3 in my last truck and they did great. And they have a 60k mileage warranty. I got 70k out of them. Before my truck was totaled. Probably had another 15k on them.

I’ve run Blizzaks in Colorado the past two winters. They’re pretty good but I’m digging the Michelins more and more and will probably replace them next winter

With any car including the Kia Niro EV. It's always the best bet to go with Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzack. They're the highest rated and I have driven them on snowy, hilly roads and they seem to have the best grip.

While I do notice the comfort and quietness of the Turanza Quiettrack in the week I've had them, so far, sometimes, it feels like I'm driving in mud, ie the car feels sluggish. The fuel efficiency has also decreased noticeably.

Cooper, never had a bad tire from them. I can tell you who I don't trust. Bridgestone, namely Potenzas. They are great new, but a tiny bit of wear and they loose ALL wet traction, and it's scary unpredictable. Never again.
