Snowpocalypse, snow problem

Back in the blizzard of'24, the East TN region ground to a halt as Jack Frost laid down a people's elbow of snow and ice on the unsuspecting folks there. Over night, the green mountains and valleys were placed in the death grip of Queen Elsa's wrath. Normally , my rear wheel drive chariot would have been a cocooned in the garage, more useless than a horse in the ocean. Fortuitously, I purchased these car kicks and the snowy skies parted, the snow and ice disappeared from the roads, and I surmounted every steep road and driveway back home. With my previous wheel prisons, I'd slide when a grasshopper farted, but no longer am I confined by the southeastern snow yeti. Thank you Bridgestone!

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.

Travel RN

I put a great deal of miles on my car daily, it is so important to feel safe in any kind of weather. Bridgestone has always been the first choice of tire for my family for many years. City, rural, as well as any kind of weather ,Bridgestone has never let us down.

Bought again

I previously had Bridgestone Weather Grip tires, they worked well I all conditions and very well in snow. I needed new tires, so I upgraded to the higher life mileage Bridgestone Weather Peak as they seem better. Still have a few months to try them in the snow, but I'm confident they will perform well.

WeatherPeak

Already left a review for other car. Bought two sets. My new favorite all-season tire. Make sure they have plenty of air - like 40 pounds or they may flat-spot when parked and cause car to shake as if tires are out of balance. Some have complained of noise. I'm not noticing these tires being at all noisy vs the dozens of other sets I have driven on. This is a new offering but I'm fully expecting the performance of these to trounce the current category leader which is Michelin CrossClimate2.

Good Set Of All Season Tires!

The original tires on my 2020 Chevy Blazer were absolutely terrible. Living in Michigan, I needed a set of tires that would be decent in snow and icy conditions. I just got these today, so time will tell. They are already a major improvement over the original tires.

Just purchased last month

The Weatherpeak tires were a very nice smooth ride and quite. Will see how they do the winter here in SD. Roy was great and seemed very honest and was able to answer all me questions, made me very comfortable. The only issues I have with Firestone is I had to drive 8 hours round trip not including the time at the shop. Looking like I will be paying cash from now on while I am living here in Mobridge, SD. We need more firestone shops a lot closer to Mobridge, SD. Also it would be nice if Firestone would work with local shops here and in smaller towns. The closest shop for me was in Rapid City, SD, so with that said I most likely will not be going to Rapid, City to firestone as it is an all day drive. Just wish the Firestone allow us to use our card for local shops like the CFNA card does with local shops here in Mobridge, SD. Other than this big issue; I am happy with my new tires.

Pleasantly surprised

Firestone store manager recommended these as I drive around 60k per year and value long tread life, a quiet ride and some winter (Ice and Snow) capability. I was astonished at how quiet they are especially considering how well siped they are for wet / winter traction. So far we've had little rain much less any winter weather but I've put over 4,000 miles on them in the less than 1 month that I've had them and I'm really pleased. The couple of times I've driven on wet roads with them, they stuck like glue. Wife said "look, dad got some new mudgrips" when she first saw them. Well, I did a little off-roading too and they did well. My Cherokee is no mudder but not a mall crawler either. Good Job Bridgestone! I'd highly recommend these. Only dow side is they are a bit firmer than the Firestone Destinations the Jeep came with OEM and my fuel mileage has suffered a bit (1-2 MPG) but that's to be expected going from tires with 73,000+ miles on them to brand new ones. They are getting about the same as the old tires did when they were new.

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!

Great traction exceptionally noisy

These tires have great points and awful points. The good: traction on these tires are fantastic. Amazing stopping distance in wet and dry weather. Also, if you enjoy feeling the road, you will like these tires, you can feel the difference very clearly of different roads. The bad: you can feel everything with these tires, they are only a smooth/comfortable ride on fresh asphalt, anything other than that you can feel everything through the car and in some instances hear it. My tires also hit a resonance frequency at exactly 43 mph, and they hum exceptionally loud at that speed and vibrate the seats, building from 40 and gone by 45 on most road types. I have had the tires balanced 3 times and the alignment checked, everyone claims it is absolutely the tires causing it. If you want great traction and detailed feeling of all road types these tires are for you. If you want a smooth and quiet ride, my preference, stay very far away from these tires. My biggest annoyance with it is that the rating say comfort should be high,and it absolutely is not.
