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.

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.

The Weatherpeak tires were a very nice smooth ride and quite. Will see how they do the winter here in SD. Roy was great and seemed very honest and was able to answer all me questions, made me very comfortable. The only issues I have with Firestone is I had to drive 8 hours round trip not including the time at the shop. Looking like I will be paying cash from now on while I am living here in Mobridge, SD. We need more firestone shops a lot closer to Mobridge, SD. Also it would be nice if Firestone would work with local shops here and in smaller towns. The closest shop for me was in Rapid City, SD, so with that said I most likely will not be going to Rapid, City to firestone as it is an all day drive. Just wish the Firestone allow us to use our card for local shops like the CFNA card does with local shops here in Mobridge, SD. Other than this big issue; I am happy with my new tires.

These tires have rock solid traction in all weather conditions. In rain has never hydroplaned once. Here in Portland, Oregon on Feb 22, 2023 we had 10 inches of snow. Couldn't believe how many stuck cars I drove by and I was driving a FWD vehicle. Saw Tesla's, a Jeep and even Subaru's stuck in the snow and I drove right past them! I've never tried the Blizzak winter tires, but I'm kind of wondering who needs those? The only issue I've faced with these tires is fuel economy. My gas mileage took a 5-7mpg hit until these tires reached 7/32. Now it is back to normal. I'm getting around 55mpg in mixed city/highway driving.

I have driven on brandnew country road blacktop road and expressway. 25mph - 75 mph THe car wobbles realy bad at low and high speed. I did NOT have this problem before purchase of the new tires. My husband bought Bridgestone last month for his JEEP and we thought they would be good fit for my Subaru. Not so, I need to return it to the dealer, waste time and headache to WHY this is happening. Very Fratrated with the purchase.

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.

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.

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 only got 32,000 miles out of a set of Bridgestone WeatherPeak tires before they need to be replaced. The limited "warranty" states 70,000 miles. Bridgestone will not honor their warranty nor stand behind their product. I will not be using nor recommending Bridgestone ever again.

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.
