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.

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 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.

I had Bridgestone Weatherpeak tires installed on my Subaru. Since then we have only had fair weather, dry road driving conditions. I've been on city streets and state highways at speeds between 25-65 mph. So far the tires have been great. I'm anxious to see how they perform when winter driving conditions arrive. I haven't compared mpg with my old tires yet, but I will soon.

I am truly impressed by the weatherpeaks performance in snow and rain. Not to mention the dty handling quiet performace. I live in NYC the weather here is always cold and raining. Least I forget the cornering capabilities of the tires are superb wet dry or snow it dont matter. get em & you will never regret them

I had done the research on various brands for my vehicle. These were the winners after my research. Took a 500 mile trip days later and the ride and handling were wonderful. Road noise barely noticeable. Wet road handling great! All around great purchase!

After researching the 3 peak mountain snow rated tires Michelin (CrossClimate 2), BFGoodrich (Advantage T/A Sport LT), and Bridgestone Weatherpeaks we decided on the Bridgestones. After our first set failed to balance correctly, 2 separate tire shops performed a road force balance showing that 3 out of 4 tires were out of round. They replaced them with 4 new ones and found that these were still out of round. Our Honda Odyssey vibrates at 60-70mph, which was not present on the OEM Bridgestone Turanzas these replaced. Very disappointed and will be going with one of the other brands when it comes time to replace.

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 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.
