Tires Pirelli or BRIDGESTONE

My Cross Sport was ok in the snow but is now great since I put a set of Blizzaks on it. After getting stuck once with stock tires, I got the snow tires and haven’t looked back.

For what it’s worth, I have the Bridgestone Alenza RFTs and competitively think they are quite nice vs Conti and Michelin tires I have had on previous vehicles.

I have Pirelli Cinturato P7 which are pretty great.

First snowfall here in Toronto, ON on new years eve and they did not disappoint. +1 on the break in, as the tires began to come in on their own with the added kms. Also, nvh is simply superb, these are the quitest tires I have ever driven

When those tires died, I bought them a set of BLIZZAK winter tires and they're SO MUCH better!!! They aren't quite as smooth and quiet on dry, but there's tons more traction in even deep snow.

But to be honest, the best snow tires are Bridgestone Blizzaks. Hands down the best I have ever had.

Blizzacks are nice on icy roads.

I had a Mazda 6 that came fitted with Bridgestone Turanza. I got 4 years and 90,000km from those. I then fitted Potenza and got 2.5 years and 32,000km before they were gone.

This is a common issue with those pirellis not only on volvos. They are junk.

Had these tires for 4 years with approximately 50,000 km on them. I noticed that 1 out of 4 is starting to crumble like this. I mainly do city driving.
