Best Winter Tires 2024 - Top 5 Best Winter Tires Review

[@Douginont]

Some of these tires seem to be designed for well maintained winter roads. I had Toyo GSi 5s on for the past couple years, really liked the blockier tread. Seemed designed to chew through deeper snow and with the studless design, the rubber compound is softer in colder temps. This year I got a great deal on Bridgestone Blizzacks WS90s. Still has a blockier tread but I would've still liked Toyo GSi 6s. I like to rub my fingernail over the rubber to see if there's much resistance. Really hard rubber may have better wear but it's kind of like putting dress shoes on the vehicle, traction is sacrificed. Take them off as soon as the weather lets up in the spring, winter tires with much softer compounds wear very quickly in warmer weather. My .02 cents for what's it worth, I lived on a hilly gravel rural road.

If you think your SUV can handle well with your current stock tired cause it is a 4WD.... think again... the Blizzaks are something that will change your mind and you will never go back to driving your SUV with all season tires... once you get Blizzaks,,, you will never feel 70 percent safe driving a winter with all season. I have mine mounted on a diferent set of wheels cause mounting and dismounting can simply screw up the tires .. so I just have a set of Blizzaks already mounted on some aftermarket wheels. I have a mazda cx5 2016 GT AWD

Completely agree put some on my 4 runner and it was night and day. Never even found myself locking it in 4wd just to pull away from a stop sign like before.

I cant believe The Nokian Hakkapeliittas did not get a mention

[@rosiejames1382]

I have tried different winter tires over the years. Had Bridgestone Blizzak twice, but found they wore down too quickly so it was like driving on an all-season after a very short time. Currently have Michelin X-Ice which need to be replaced. They are great on snow but don't like how they perform on ice. The name "X-ice" is very misleading. In the process of making a final decision on the Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded or non-studded instead. Does anyone have a recommendation on either one of these. The issue about studded tires is the "popcorn" noise which may become extremely irritating, although being able to stop on ice is ultimately important.

Great video! Can you rate the Nexen Winter Sport 2 please

[@fz1bureau]

Curious as to why Toyo is not in the mix. Not an accurate study otherwise. Sorry but many of us need that comparison.

Guys - I don't know about you. I have an AWD SUV and the tires that I use are Goodyear. I love them and I find that the big names like Michelin, all you are doing is paying for the name.

Anybody try Coopers?

[@DeniMetodiev]

General AltiMax are the worst "winter" tyres I've ever had. Very bad balanced (crooked) tyres with no grip on snow, ice or even wet surface. My summer tyres were better on snow than these.

[@kooskoos8181]

Was it just installed incorrectly?

[@DeniMetodiev]

@kooskoos8181 the tyres were bad made. Their shape visually has changed after 1 season (approximately 3000 km carefully driving).

That's a good one! 😂
