Initial Review, 40000 Miles on Tires
February 07, 2012

Have had these tires for about 2 1/2 years and 41000 miles. Been very happy with them so far and have worn very well! I keep them rotated every 7500 miles. I did lose some mileage (1/2-1 mpg) with these tires running at my empty tire pressure. (60-45psi) I upped the tire pressure and mileage has been great since. (75-65psi). I have been very happy with the wet traction and have also had good performance in light mud and light to heavy snow (up to 14 inches) Tires look nice and aggressive but perform very mildly on the road. I should get another 10-15k out of them which is pretty good service for an A/T tire on a 2500 Diesel truck. Would buy again and would recommend to anyone looking for a good all around A/T tire.

We finally had snow this winter in New Castle County, Delaware and I just got home from going to the grocery store in the snow. These tires are wonderful in the snow and slush - the car never slipped and I never spun the tires. They are much better in snow and slush than the OEM Continental's that came on the car. They are better than the Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50's I had on my last car. The General Altimax Artic's are very impressive while driving in snow and slush - the the Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50's were never this good.
The General Altimax Artic's are noisy on dry pavement because they are studded.

An top choice for mid-sized sporty sedans. I've run Michelin MXV4's and Goodyear Eagle GT/HR - these Bridgestones handle, corner and ride much better. Excellent wet weather traction. No increase in noise noted. Much cheaper than the Michelins and a better value, even though they probably will not last as long.

This is the only 245/55/19 replacement for all 2008+ toyota highlander OE tires. Everybody know the OE bridgestone and toyo tires on highlander are ----. This is the only tire that met my expectation including dry, wet and snow performance. I am a skier and I need a all season tire that good on dry, wet and snow. This is what I got and I made a good choice. I have try them on dry, heavy rain and snow + icy road. It perform very good especially on the snow. The deep agressive tread makes my 4WD looks better, I mean sportier. Stop thinking twice. I highly recommend this tire for all highlander owners who wants to replace the bad quality OE tires.

Best snow tires I ever had. Live in Syracuse NY, and these things eat the snow up. The only complaint I have is that there very loud when dry, or wet. I would recommend these to anyone and planning on buying another set when the time is needed. Not the most sporty tires, but defiantly great for the winter season.

This is my second set of these tires. I got approximately 20,000 miles of winter duty out of the first set. I put another 5,000 miles over the summer in anticipation of replacing them for the winter of 2011-2012. These don't have the snow traction of a Bridgestone WS-50, which were superb on my Saab 9-3. What the LM-25 gives up in snow traction is more than made up in non-snow driving. They are a great winter run-flat for E-90 series BMWs.

Inspires confidence in all weather conditions. Vehicle handles like new.

I bought a 2012 accord from the local dealer when it was the first one on the lot and immediately switched out the tires from the OEM MICHELIN HX Mxm4s and I have definitely not had a better tire. I had a set of continental extreme contact DWS previously and thes by far out shine them in every category especially ride comfort and noise. We had a snow storm recently and I couldnt feel more secure in the slush ice and snow. I would recommend these tires to everyone if they ask.

I drive a 2007 Prius touring edition (stiffer suspension & +1 wheels. OEM were bridgestone potenze - garbage, I replaced with Flaken 912's - better handling but extremely rough riding - exceptionally loud and wore to tread bars within 25K miles. I replaced with these and have only 1000 dry miles (no rain or snow in S. Cal yet. But... amazing change! Like a new car: indescribably smoother ride, much quieter so that we can use the hands-free phone again, tracks like a porsche 911 and so ar has increased my fuel efficiency by about 2 mpg - combined city and freeway driving. Just a terrific choice and when spending this kind of money, you are always unsure about a decision when you can't easily swap tires if the choice is bad. You will not regret these. Just need to test the wet traction and wear life. GREAT TIRES - very happy!!

Great Tire so far and handles perfectly in the Pacific Northwest's all around weather. So far great stick in the Seattle rain and did excellent during our recent "Snowmageddon," including an early morning ice storm. Probably shouldn't have been driving, but with these tires I felt more comfortable. MPG's are okay. I would like to get more, but I'm getting between 18-21mpg while driving mostly city and some highway. Seems to me like a good all around tire and depending on how long they last, I will probably get another set.

this is my second set for this vehicle. original tires lasted 30,000 or so, then got the Bridgestones. all around great tire. i have a steep long driveway & live on a dirt road in a hilly rural area of Connecticut. lots of WEATHER & always changing. last year a couple of storms of a couple of feet & drive right through it, dirt road a mud bog a few times a year with no problems. lasted 50,000 miles with no front end alignments & a few rotations. new tires at 95,000 & a front end alignmnet with camber reset makes straight, smooth riding a breeze.

I used this tire to replace the OEM RE050A on my Legacy Spec.B. It is a great tire offers amazing turn in, great dry grip and equally strong wet grip. In a recent heavy rain storm I drove down the highway and then through some canyon roads. In all conditions they tire performed amazingly. It offers acceptable road noise levels and ride comfort. I strongly recommend this for anyone looking for a great all around tire that will only see rain.

Not sure what everyone's talking about but i measure my tires with deph gage every 3 months there at half so these tire on my AWD GMC YUKON DENALI will last as described in the warranty miles.The traction in the deep snow and light snow is slightly less as wearing takes place but the ice traction, cornering ,dry, steering all get better as the tread wears.For the money and performance of these tires you cant find any better i use them while hunting in the muddys fields to hills from my deer lease property to the highways going there they are flat out awesome.

We have only had one seriously heavy snowfall so far this season; the Blizzaks were outstanding! I plowed through several snowbanks to see how they'd take it; come through every bit as well as the last set of snow tires on the vehicle--Hakkapeliitta 4s.

Now that I have about 12,000 miles on these tires, I can say that I am pleased with them. The perfomance is not quite as good as the OEM Bridgestones, which only went 11,000 miles. I replaced those with Kumho tires which went about twice as long. The Kumhos became really noisy as the tread wore, and were driving me nuts. So I replaced them even though there was some tread left. The Continental tires are much quieter, so far, and it looks like they will last quite a while longer. Since I live in So Florida, I can not comment on winter performance, but they are quite good in the wet. So it looks like a good compromise for me, good performance and reasonable tread life. Oh, I went for an all season tire because it sometimes does get cold here and I did not want to have a bad day with summer only tires. I also wanted to be able to drive to the frozen north if I (heaven forbid) had to. If I were into maximum performance or track days, I would select something else. By the way, I keep them properly inflated and rotate every 5K miles.

So far these tires have exceeded my expectations. In my lengthy commute, they have proven to be extremely quiet and smooth riding. They have performed well in a variety of weather conditions. I have not had them in deep snow yet. my fuel economy remained stable as these are replacement for another energy effiencent tire.

They were good when new, after 10000 miles forget it, even had them rotated couple times, terrible on ice, freezing rain. Never Bridgestone again.

Replaced a set of Continental DWS because of tire noise. I love these tires. You would think these are high performance summer tires on dry pavement but they perform well in the wet and snow. I believe these are the number 1 tire in this category.
