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.

A Great All Season Choice

So far the WeatherPeak's have met or exceeded my expectations! I swapped out the stock Yokohamas immediately on my brand new Subaru as I could tell they just wouldn't survive a Minnesota winter. I commute 100 miles a day on a sketchy stretch of highway that frequently produces blizzard like conditions. I needed a tire that would perform well not only on ice & snow but also on dry pavement during the summer months. I also needed a tire that was quiet, comfortable, durable, handled well and provided good gas mileage. The WeatherPeak's checked all the boxes and I'm very happy with my buying decision. I not sure about the durability as I've only put about 1000 miles on them to date, with a 70,000 mile warranty I'm assuming they'll hold up.

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!

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.

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.

Not Sure About These Tires

Had to have tire replaced with less than 250 miles on it due to sidewall bubble. I'm 71 years old and have owned hundreds of tires, and never had this happen before. I think it may have been over-inflated by Firestone dealer where I purchased. Reason I suspect this is because I checked replacement tire after I got home and it had 40 pounds of air. (I check after car was parked in the shade for five hours.)

Great for winter driving

These were great for winter driving. Overall they worked pretty well for normal driving as well. I'm not sure if I had a defective set, but around the 15,000 mile mark the tread had worn down to 2/32. Thankfully the tire place I go to honored the warranty of the tire. Overall the driving experience was great, but the durability was subpar at best.

So far these tires are great

I can't really give a totally fair review but they appear to have a good aggressive tread design with plenty of sipping which should be good for winter and ice driving. We have put on about 350 miles on the tires so far and they ride very well, grip well and are quieter than the original equipment tires. There is a bit of oversteer with these tires that is slightly noticeable compared to the original probably due to their increased grip. Both I and my wife feel comfortable with them so far.

Great ECOPIA replacement

Replaced original equipment ECOPIA tires with Weatherpeaks, and am happy with my decision. Live near Lake Superior in northern Wisconsin where a good all season tire is mandatory, and the Weatherpeak fills that need. But, the best part of the switch from ECOPIA is the huge reduction in noise. Fuel economy was good with previous tires and appears to be about the same with Weatherpeak. Wish I had changed the tires sooner.

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!
