Tires Toyo or BRIDGESTONE

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.

I had some toyo open country at+ on mine loved them, good ride and perfect off road. I bought them because they are 75% cheaper here compared to bf KO's

The Toyo at3 on the other hand has been great, a lot lighter which makes driving a lot more fun and less fuel consumption, basically no road noise and a lot cheaper then the ko2's

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 chose the Bridgestone weatherpeaks for my 21 forester. They were great in the rain on the highway and on dry gravel/dirt roads.

Bridgestone winter tires are better quality than the Firestone Winter Force unless you're looking to have them studded.

I like Hankook but used Toyo observe before. It was fine and better than any all season.

I have the original 20” Bridgestones on my 21, with about 20k miles. Should be good for another 5k or so. Not great tires, but fairly typical OEM tires for me.

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.
