TTAC Giveaway: Bridgestone Winter Tires

by TTAC Staff

Published: November 23rd, 2022

It's time for another TTAC Giveaway! This time, with winter fast approaching, it's time to once again work with Bridgestone to provide a lucky winner with a set of winter rubber, just in time for the snow to fly.

In this case, the winner gets a set of WeatherPeak tires. These all-season tourings give a strong grip in the wet and dry and also offer a quiet and comfortable ride.

Yes, all-season tires and winter tires are usually different, but these all-seasons are meant to tackle winter weather, thanks in part to sipes that evolve as the tire wears out. An open shoulder slot design moves water out of the tire's footprint. Full-depth 3D sipes offer "strong wear performance" and grip on snow-covered roads. The 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake-certified tires have ridges in the groove channel that compact snow and flow water away quickly. This improves traction and shortens stopping distances.

“The Bridgestone WeatherPeak tire leverages our latest technology innovations to push the all-season category to new heights,” said Ian McKenney, Senior Product Manager, Consumer Replacement Tire Sales and Marketing, Bridgestone Americas. “Drivers are increasingly looking for safe, yet practical tires that provide confident control for any season, weather or journey. The Bridgestone WeatherPeak tire provides a superior design to meet that demand and help drivers stay in control no matter the condition of the road.”

These tires stop 5 percent better than a top competitor, the Michelin CrossClimate 2, in the wet and 4 percent better in the dry, according to Bridgestone internal testing. These tires also stop 14 feet sooner in the snow than the Michelins and 30 feet sooner in the snow than Michelin Primacy Tour A/S all-seasons.

Bridgestone offers WeatherPeaks in 56 sizes that cover 87 percent of sedans, crossovers, and minivans on the market. Major models that can be fitted with these tires include the Audi Q5, BMW 3-Series, Honda Accord, Honda Odyssey, Jeep Cherokee, Toyota RAV4, and Volkswagen Golf.

The tires have a 70,000-mile limited warranty.

I am angry with Bridgestone, because of Firestone. Who buys Firestone tires? (Besides my dad who put them on the car he gifted to me, and my son who now has three nice Pirellis and one crap tire from the Firestone store, because why would he listen to me.)
Anyway, thanks for the offer, but I only take free stuff from the government now.

Ltcmgm78 It depends on whether or not the union is a help or a hindrance to the manufacturer and workers. A union isn't needed if the manufacturer takes care of its workers.
Honda1 Unions were needed back in the early days, not needed know. There are plenty of rules and regulations and government agencies that keep companies in line. It's just a money grad and nothing more. Fain is a punk!
1995 SC If the necessary number of employees vote to unionize then yes, they should be unionized. That's how it works.
Sobhuza Trooper That Dave Thomas fella sounds like the kind of twit who is oh-so-quick to tell us how easy and fun the bus is for any and all of your personal transportation needs. The time to get to and from the bus stop is never a concern. The time waiting for the bus is never a concern. The time waiting for a connection (if there is one) is never a concern. The weather is never a concern. Whatever you might be carrying or intend to purchase is never a concern. Nope, Boo Cars! Yeah Buses! Buses rule!Needless to say, these twits don't actual take the damn bus.
MaintenanceCosts Nobody here seems to acknowledge that there are multiple use cases for cars.Some people spend all their time driving all over the country and need every mile and minute of time savings. ICE cars are better for them right now.Some people only drive locally and fly when they travel. For them, there's probably a range number that works, and they don't really need more. For the uses for which we use our EV, that would be around 150 miles. The other thing about a low range requirement is it can make 120V charging viable. If you don't drive more than an average of about 40 miles/day, you can probably get enough electrons through a wall outlet. We spent over two years charging our Bolt only through 120V, while our house was getting rebuilt, and never had an issue.Those are extremes. There are all sorts of use cases in between, which probably represent the majority of drivers. For some users, what's needed is more range. But I think for most users, what's needed is better charging. Retrofit apartment garages like Tim's with 240V outlets at every spot. Install more L3 chargers in supermarket parking lots and alongside gas stations. Make chargers that work like Tesla Superchargers as ubiquitous as gas stations, and EV charging will not be an issue for most users.
