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!

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

I have put over 40k miles on these tires and they are at about half tread. i do rotate them every 5k miles. I drive 120 miles a day total for work mainly highway. i live in central indiana and these have played in the whiteout conditions more than once on my 60 mile commute up north for work. no issues at all. people need to stop leaving bad reviews saying they wear fast. FIX YOUR CARS. tires don't chew themselves it's the vehicle parts, alignment, inflation, or balance that destroys them. if all of your bases are covered there they should last well over 60k miles. love them and i plan to get another set as soon as these are ready to be changed.

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.

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.

For a 70.000 mile the tread life didn't last long after 13.000 miles my back tires only had half the tread life and my front tires where shot and the Firestone dealer where I bought the tires from wouldn't cover the warranty on them they gave my a big run around on them will never buy tires from them eany more

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!

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!

We have driven on this tire for about 3,000 miles from Texas to Deep South Florida. It handles every bit as good as the EL440 that came stock on the car, but it does way better in the rain. I drove it going 65 through some well grooved roads on I-10 and I-75 in some heavy downpours. I never lost confidence, and the car never lost its grip on the road. Wet driving is an area I can definitely say this tire does great within. The MPG has picked up about 1/2 a mile per gallon as well. Anything helps these days!

So far. they have performed very well, particularly in poor weather conditions. The only drawback is that due to the more aggressive tread pattern, it is a bit noisier than I'd prefer; but it's an acceptable trade off.
