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!

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.

Nice and quiet

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!

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.

A Great All Season Choice

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.

Disappointing Tread Life

I had high hopes for these tires, first winter they performed great in snowy conditions. However, the tread life was a huge disappointment! Only lasted 13 months and 25,000 miles before needing replacement. Supposed to be a 70,000 mile tire. With the limited warranty I only received half of the tire cost back towards new tires, install, road hazard all extra costs. Definitely do NOT recommend these tires! You lost me as a customer, Bridgestone.

New Tires But Great So Far

Replaced some excellent Continentals with these. Only have a few hundred miles on these and honestly I was concerned about the tread pattern maybe leaving a lot to be desired in dry conditions. So far, my concerns were unfounded. These have been very, very good.

WEATHERPEAK BL 235/50R18 97V 70,000 Mile Limited

I received great service from my initial appointment to select tires until I drove out of the shop. 5 Sterling made sure the correct manufactures recommended tire size was order. He noticed that the last time I had my tires replaced the installer replaced my tires with the wrong size tires.

Not Sure About These Tires

Had to have tire replaced with less than 250 miles on it due to sidewall bubble. I'm 71 years old and have owned hundreds of tires, and never had this happen before. I think it may have been over-inflated by Firestone dealer where I purchased. Reason I suspect this is because I checked replacement tire after I got home and it had 40 pounds of air. (I check after car was parked in the shade for five hours.)

Weather Peak Tires

Love my new Bridgestone Weather Peak tires. Even though I purchased them in September I feel a difference on the road. I'm getting a smoother and quiet ride performance. Great value for a great tire. With an affordable alignment I will trust these tires to last 70,000 miles. Ole man winter bring it on. I'm ready!
