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.

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!

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.

Most Appropriate Tires for my Vehicle & Driving Needs

I've now had this set of tires for 16 days and I've already driven 182 miles on it. An alignment was performed after the tires were installed. The combination of the new tires and the alignment made a nice improvement in ride quality. I'm quite pleased with these tires so far. They are much more suitable for my situation than the original equipment Sport tires. I don't need tires rated for 149 mph. The 130 mph rating on these WeatherPeak tires is plenty for me. I rarely reach 75 mph. Maybe I've touched 182 a couple times during passing. I can't imagine needing to go 90. I look forward to enjoying better Fuel Economy, Ride Comfort, Tread Life, and Snow and Ice Performance than the original Sport tires. I'm willing to trade off a little steering precision and a lot of high speed capability

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.

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!

Replaced worn Michallens

I had done the research on various brands for my vehicle. These were the winners after my research. Took a 500 mile trip days later and the ride and handling were wonderful. Road noise barely noticeable. Wet road handling great! All around great purchase!

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.

Great all around tire

I bought this tire for all season driving. I had had Michelin on my car for the last three sets of tires. I bought these tires because I already had them on two other vehicles. I cannot believe how much better these tires perform in curves and has enhanced handling of the car. I have much better traction in the rain. I have not had them long enough to have tried them on snow or ice on this car. My car being rear wheel drive we will see this winter. Overall, I am really pleased with these tires and would buy them again.
