Didn't last 15k miles!

Very disappointed with these tires. This was my first time buying Bridgestone. They had great reviews so I bought them for my wife's Tiguan. Just took the car in today and all 4 needed to be replaced (they were at 1/32 or 2/32). The rears lasted 15k miles, the fronts only lasted 10k miles. The guys at Americas Tire said they've never seen a tire wear this fast and have such poor durability. My wife doesn't drive aggressively and the tires are supposed to last for 80k miles so 10k is ridiculous. The warranty covered some of the early wear but not one of the tires because the metal mesh was showing. This makes no sense. If the tire is so worn down after 10k miles, why does the warranty not cover it? So, after paying over $1000 for these tires last year, I just had to buy new tires again. And, I had to pay for installation again which the warranty obviously doesn't cover. Needless to say I won't be buying Bridgestone again and recommend that others stay away from these tires despite the ok reviews. For the premium cost, I think it's unreasonable to have a tire last 10-15k miles and the warranty doesn't cover what it should.

Recently purchased

We have about 1500 miles on these tires so it's early to comment on durability. With respect to driving conditions the tires perform well in dry, rain , slippery and snow covered conditions (8 inches). Definitely would recommend the tires. Excellent warranty 70,000 miles!

Perfect Upgrade to All Season

These are our first new set of tires to replace original factory tires. We travel from NM to WY quite a bit, and the weather is ever changing. These were smoother, quieter, and sliced through the rain VERY well. Feel much safer with these tires. Glad I spent the extra money to upgrade!

Weather Peak

Nice tire but make sure that they road force balance them. I've had 2 vehicles for these tires. Both had high (bad) road force values but my local Firestone guy made good on them all and replaced the bad ones right away. So now we have very smooth, great riding tires on my wife's Q5 and my sons Sante Fe. I have firestone LE2s on my Nissan Frontier, my daughter's Lexus ES330 has Firestone weather grips and my other sons Crown Vic had firestone PVS's have to say I am a Bridgestone/Firestone fan.

Great tire - with some caveats

While I loved the tires performance in the wet/dry/snow conditions, the durability of the tire leaves a LOT to be desired. I had the tires for all of about 21k miles, and already my tire shop advised that I replace them due to the treadwear on the tire rapidly going down fast. I rotated them as recommended (every 6k miles), and do not drive in any adverse road conditions, and rarely exceed 75MPH. Dry traction? Fabulous. Wet? Amazing. Snow? Fantastic. Durability? TERRIBLE. Especially considering I spent 200/tire, I expected the tires to at least last 40k miles, if not more -- given that these are reputed by Bridgestone to be 75k mile treadwear tires. Add that it is nearly impossible in my area to find a like replacement (almost all the shops didn't have this tire in stock), I went and did a set of Michelin Cross Climate as the replacement for these. Unfortunate, as these are really good performing tires when they aren't wearing out quickly.

Game Changer!

A Minnesota resident, today I had the opportunity to experience the Weatherpeak in 5 inches of snow and icy conditions and they performed fabulously. My 2005 Thunderbird has rear wheel drive with positraction. By way of background, I have used Blizzaks and Michelin Ice-2 Winter tires in the past. One of the issues was swapping the winter tire and summer tires which can be pricey regardless if you invest in extra wheels. So I was interested in the Weatherpeaks because of the year round capabilities. So now I have experienced their impressive winter performance! Looking forward to summer driving.

Guess you can't have everything...

Replaced the Firestone FT140s that came from the factory at 42k miles. They gave a harsh ride with lousy snow traction and hydroplaning on wet roads. I love everything about these 215R50-17 Weatherpeak tires except my highway mileage has dropped from 43mpg to 37mpg. Haven't tried them in snow/ice yet, but they are incredible in heavy rain with standing water. Quiet, great feel, and they absorb bumps well. Fingers crossed that they last as well as the warranty indicates.

Just started and it's great!

Next year I'll come back and update, but I just replaced all 4 tires with the weather peak and I can already tell and feel the difference. Quieter smoother ride! I noticed the steering feels better and I don't notice the bumps in the road as much either. Very happy! Looking forward to see how they do in the winter! I'll keep you posted...

Bridgestone Weatherpeak Tires

Purchased these tires for my daughter's car. Was searching for tires that perform well in rain and snow. Both were rated in the high category for these conditions. I like the aggressive tread design, yet they are quiet. So far I'm pleased with my purchase.
