Didn't last a year.

I purchased 4 new tires upon the recommendation of the garage I go to. 11 months later, after only **14,000 miles**, I have bald patterns throughout the tread, and will require new tires heading in to the Midwest winter. These tires are marketed to last 70,000 miles, minimum. And because my husband is able to do some mechanical maintenance on my car and has for years all rotations and mechanical fixes aren't documented at a garage - so my warranty is null and void. How frustrating! My Dad sold Bridgestone tires for 40+ years before retiring and when he looked at them this weekend he was very disappointed. So. Frustrated.

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.

Superb All Weather Tire

I left a review when I first purchased these tires and wanted to update now that I have 22000 miles on them driving in all 4 seasons. I'm still extremely happy with my choice after researching several all weather options. Living in Minnesota, snow and ice performance was my #1 priority and I was not disappointed! I actually drove through two blizzards and never felt uncomfortable in those conditions. I was also pleasantly surprised summer driving as they were very quiet, handled great and didn't hydroplane or slide in heavy downpours. Tread life is very good and they are wearing evenly. Gas mileage was about on par with the stock tires despite the softer compound and more aggressive tread, these are actually lighter in weight. I would definitely recommend and will purchase these again in the future!

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!

More MPG and more comfort!

I love these tires! I had them on a previous Chrysler and learn what a great tires they were then and now I have a different Chrysler, that came with new michelins on it And of course I waited for them to run their course and bought these weather peak tires by Bridgestone and my gosh what a difference! My gas mileage has went up two miles per gallon and they're quieter and more comfortable than the Michelin tires were! I will always buy these weather peak 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.

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.

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.

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

AWFUL TIRES - NOT SATISFIED

I purchased 4 new Weathertek tires upon recommendations from online reviews from different sources. I only got 17,786 miles, I have bald patterns throughout the center tread, and had to purchase new tires in order for the car to be inspected. These tires are marketed to last 70,000 miles, minimum.
