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.

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!

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!

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...

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.

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.

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.

I just bought these tires so I can't comment on durability personally, but the handling is terrific,.the ride very quiet and the tread looks and feels solid. On durability I went with good wear on my Bridgestone Potenzas holding well on another of my vehicles.

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.

January 13,2023 ( heavy snow) Wisconsin. Second winter with these tires, these perform so well in snow and ice it's unbelievable. Also, super confidence inspiring in the rain and dry. No discernible difference in fuel economy either. I'm getting my appropriate fuel economy too. 2017, Toyota Camry (FWD).
