Snow Event

We have gotten over 2 ft. of snow this weekend. When I got caught out in part of it. I was very happy with my new tires. I didn't slide, I didn't spin, they worked like I was hoping they would. Other cars were struggling, but I wasn't. I am also happy with how much quieter they are on dry roads compared to what I had on prior. Now if they last as long as they should, I will be one super pleased customer.

Great Tire. Can't go wrong with Firestone

These are really good tires in dry and wet conditions. They are quiet on the road, they handle really well, and they make my car a more comfortable ride. I haven't had a chance to try them in winter conditions yet but I'm sure they will do fine. Overall the WeatherGrip is a great tire and I will definitely purchase them again when the time comes to replace my tires.

Reputation

Bought these for my son's Jeep Liberty. He is going to college in Michigan's upper peninsula where they measure the snow in feet, not inches. I am hoping to hear good things from him after driving in the snow. I've had Firestone snow tires on my Jeep and have been very happy with them! I plan to buy some for my daughter's car this fall.

READ THIS REVIEW **FIRST**

I changed the original from Continental brand all season tires to these, on a company van. The originals were good overall. In fact, I've tried many brands and found Continental to be the most dependable and predictable tire in any weather; even with my "extreme" driving style. There are other brands out there which offer more grip on dry roads but wear out faster. There are other brands still that feel sportier when changing lanes or on twisty roads but they are less predictable in extreme braking or on ice/ snow/ rain etc. Believe me when I say this; Continental high performance all seasons are the BEST in my book because regardless of driving conditions... Not just because they grip hard in curves and lose traction at the itmost limits in a gradual and communicate manner.. but because I know what to expect from Contis if I need to react to emergency situations in city/ interstate traffic or sudden obstacles on the backroads in the woods. Rain or shine (and even in mild snow) Continentals get you home safe; and they even happen to last long and be fairly quiet too. I know what you're thinking...(isn't this a review for the Bridgestone?) Well yes. But I need to establish what MY criteria are when reviewing tires and make it clear I'm not ordinarily inclined to buy anything other than Continental. But that being said, this Bridgestone was all I could get to replace the worn out tires on my van and I need to admit, I was very impressed. The first thing I noticed is that the Bridgestone had a wider track than the Continentals they replaced. The traction was equally good in rain and snow and the grip was surprisingly good in dry weather too. Strangely enough, the Bridgestone was actually dramatically smoother and quieter going down the highway and when hitting potholes and expansion strips on the highway it no longer felt like a bone jarring slam that shuddered through the whole frame of the van. But here's my point; I love Continental. Generally they're awesome. But I'm thinking that ANY type tires, as they are, will tend to get louder and be rougher on the road than new ones. So YOU have to temper your opion when reading reviews and take everything with a grain of salt. Another thing; different cars get along differently with a given type of tire compared to another. So when reading reviews its good to look for people who are driving the same car or at least have the same preferences/priorities in tire requirements when discussing their reviews. NEVER judge a tire just on the numerical score... But back to the review. I consider myself a car-person and like to drive "swiftly" and still prefer the Continentals in any weather on any car. BUT... This Bridgestone Weatherbeater is one seriously good tire. (That being said, I've only driven about 5000 miles on them so you'll need to ask somebody else if they STAY good for 40k miles or however long they're sup to last. Hope this review helps you find the tire that fits your needs best.

Kinda disappointed

Replaced my Firestone All season tires which were great, with weathergrip Firestone tires. Terrible mistake. May return due to noise, vibration slight. And cost more than the all season Firestone which were great. These are great in rain but driving on sunny day Terrible. These are horrible in every way except they are great in the rain. I have 90 days and am trying to get use to These new set but not sure if I will keep or return and get the all season I had before.

Not a 65000 mile tire

First winter, these tires were amazing. After 29000 miles on them, they are worn out . They are incredibly noisy and don't provide very good traction anymore. I tried processing a claim with firestone about the premature wear. Their response was too bad, 3/32 is typical wear and not excessive. I thought that when I purchased a 65,000 mile tire, I would at least get 40000 out of them. Not with Firestone. I will now shop for a different brand of tires. I already purchase a new set of tires for our Highlander and they weren't Firestone.

Great Tires, second set

The tires did great in all weather, we get mild winters but I worked on top of a mountain and conditions were pretty bad in winter time. They did great in rain and on dry, lasted just about the entire tread life. lost stars on Value due to the rebate. Not so happy on the rebate offer, so far it had been rejected due to what they said was a "Blurry or Illegible Invoice" the re-submission now just claims to be Not Approved.

One month summer driving

I like these new tires very much. It has been only a month since I purchased these four tires. It's summertime so I have driven on dry roads most of the time and a few times while raining. So far so good! They have a good grip and perform very well when I brake. I have not been able to test them on snowy or icy roads yet but I feel much safer on the road with this Weathergrip tires. Definetely recommend them!

Mileage rating is not accurate

These tires performed well for the first 10k miles, after that point the performance went downhill quickly. The rating of these is listed at 65k miles I stretched these to just over 30k at which point I had to change, being that I had a young driver now I could not trust having my daughter use my car & feel safe with her driving. This is my second time of giving Bridgestone/Firestone brand tires a chance, & never again will I purchase a Bridgestone/Firestone tire.

Great tire for snow and rain

Just purchased our second set of these tires for our minivan. The first set lasted 3 years and approx 60K. We love the traction in the snow and rain and they are quiet on the road. Lasted longer than I expected. We have been very happy with these tires.
