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.

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!

have 18k on tires great in snow ok on ice a very soft sidewall so no lateral stability. Cornering very soft they randomly shake severely about once a week the fronts will shake , stop and let sit an hour they are ok again. balanced three times still shakes.

Bought the Weatherpeaks because my Nokian WR4s were getting old and loud. What a difference! Very quiet and sure footed in wet and dry conditions. Part of the reason I selected these were the good winter ratings, well, winter is still a long way off so I'll get back to you on that, our Western New York winters should be a good test. Additionally, we just returned from a road trip through West Virginia and South central Virginia, very narrow twisty roads, sometimes in heavy rain, Tires were awesome. Even though I bought these from my Mazda dealer, they were less expensive than the Michelins and other similar class tires. I'll get back to you about how the handled a Buffalo winter next year!

I have this style tires on 2 vehicles. One on 09 TSX and 09 Prius. Handles great in rain and puddles. No issues in snow even slushy snow. Grips and go. I will definitely buy this for all new vehicles. I will definitely buy again. Road noise yes, some.

Switched from pro contact by continental to these, not sure if it was because my old tires were worn (unevenly) but turning is so much easier in these. Maybe it's because they are brand new, it's taking some getting used to. Slight rumble when driving above 40mph. But continentals did that too. Nothing major. Excited to see how they do in the rain/snow.

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.

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.

These tire have great grip and good cushion in all conditions, but they are loud. At highway speeds, I hear a loud hum, it's not too terrible but definitely noticeable. Around 45 mph, is when the tires get the loudest. It's a very loud thumping hum that feels like it vibrates the car at times. Hopefully the noise goes away as the tread wears more.

These tires have amazing wet hydroplaning resistance and snow traction. When driving in a Portland, Oregon snowstorm with 10 inches of snow earlier this year I was the only car that seemed to be able to drive in the snow. Unfortunately after 18,000 miles these tires were down to 3/32nd's despite having them inflated to 40psi front/38psi rear (2 psi above factory spec). Filed a warranty claim and switched to the Michelin Defenders.
