Tires OEM Mazda or BRIDGESTONE

Picked up the weatherpeaks for use in Toronto 2 months back on my CX-5. It's been miles better than than the stock Toyos (quiter, better road feel) and didnt notice a fuel economy hit at all.

Bridgestone Blizzaks. You will love the grip they provide.

At 45 degrees and below a regular all season tire will start to harden and lose grip, even on bare pavement. If you live somewhere where it gets cold get the Blizzaks

They are fine. After we moved to Phoenix from Idaho I put them on every winter just to use them up and they lasted quite a few years - they still had lots of tread left when I got tired of storing them every year

I love me my Bridgestone Weatherpeaks all-weather tiresI live in Southern California near the beach where it doesn’t snow, but make frequent road trips during the winter to Mammoth and Big Bear where it can snow heavily at times. 70 degree weather to drive to the 20-30 degree mountains in snowy conditions and these handle like a beast.

If you want the best, Michelin X-Ice are considered the best for icy conditions and Bridgestone Blizzaks are the best for deeper snow. I'm on my 2nd set of Blizzaks and I loooovvee them. I get excited when it snows hard so I can get some snow driving and hand brake turns in.

But for A/T and H/T tires, I have been using Bridgestones for the longest time now.

I bought a set of the new Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS and going to be installing them shortly. I’ll update here over the next several months through winter and back into summer on how they do.

I have found it quite hard to predict, but Bridgestone were extremely noisy for me. Then I had Michelin which were slightly quieter but still didn't satisfy me completely.

The problem is that the more aggressive the snow [tires] the noisier they were. After 4 seasons on Blizzaks I was ready to burn them.
