2nd Replacement Set Still Out of Round

After researching the 3 peak mountain snow rated tires Michelin (CrossClimate 2), BFGoodrich (Advantage T/A Sport LT), and Bridgestone Weatherpeaks we decided on the Bridgestones. After our first set failed to balance correctly, 2 separate tire shops performed a road force balance showing that 3 out of 4 tires were out of round. They replaced them with 4 new ones and found that these were still out of round. Our Honda Odyssey vibrates at 60-70mph, which was not present on the OEM Bridgestone Turanzas these replaced. Very disappointed and will be going with one of the other brands when it comes time to replace.

WEATHERPEAK BL 235/50R18 97V 70,000 Mile Limited

I received great service from my initial appointment to select tires until I drove out of the shop. 5 Sterling made sure the correct manufactures recommended tire size was order. He noticed that the last time I had my tires replaced the installer replaced my tires with the wrong size tires.

Great traction, short life

These tires have amazing wet hydroplaning resistance and snow traction. When driving in a Portland, Oregon snowstorm with 10 inches of snow earlier this year I was the only car that seemed to be able to drive in the snow. Unfortunately after 18,000 miles these tires were down to 3/32nd's despite having them inflated to 40psi front/38psi rear (2 psi above factory spec). Filed a warranty claim and switched to the Michelin Defenders.

Disappointing Tread Life

I had high hopes for these tires, first winter they performed great in snowy conditions. However, the tread life was a huge disappointment! Only lasted 13 months and 25,000 miles before needing replacement. Supposed to be a 70,000 mile tire. With the limited warranty I only received half of the tire cost back towards new tires, install, road hazard all extra costs. Definitely do NOT recommend these tires! You lost me as a customer, Bridgestone.

Incredible performance

I've sold these tires ever since they came out. Always had fantastic customer satisfaction. I finally put them on my vehicle because of my experiences selling them. They preform practically like a blizzak full snow tire. Yet they can be ran all year long and have a mileage warranty to boot!!! That is unheard of!!! It's the best of both worlds. You ge the majority of people's diving with every day mileage. Plus when the weather hits they preform just as good as a tires specially designed for those conditions. Also, wet performance is incredible! Night and day difference from previous Firehawks I had... Very satisfied customer. If your one the fence and drive in any sort of wet or freezing conditions these are your tires!

Wearing amazing

I have put over 40k miles on these tires and they are at about half tread. i do rotate them every 5k miles. I drive 120 miles a day total for work mainly highway. i live in central indiana and these have played in the whiteout conditions more than once on my 60 mile commute up north for work. no issues at all. people need to stop leaving bad reviews saying they wear fast. FIX YOUR CARS. tires don't chew themselves it's the vehicle parts, alignment, inflation, or balance that destroys them. if all of your bases are covered there they should last well over 60k miles. love them and i plan to get another set as soon as these are ready to be changed.

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.

True year round performer

These tires have rock solid traction in all weather conditions. In rain has never hydroplaned once. Here in Portland, Oregon on Feb 22, 2023 we had 10 inches of snow. Couldn't believe how many stuck cars I drove by and I was driving a FWD vehicle. Saw Tesla's, a Jeep and even Subaru's stuck in the snow and I drove right past them! I've never tried the Blizzak winter tires, but I'm kind of wondering who needs those? The only issue I've faced with these tires is fuel economy. My gas mileage took a 5-7mpg hit until these tires reached 7/32. Now it is back to normal. I'm getting around 55mpg in mixed city/highway driving.

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!
