“Hey everyone, I’ve owned these tires from almost 5k miles. Had bought these at Costco. Honestly love them. My only complaint is I think I have tire rub. I feel the vibration and noise when there is 2 or more adults in the car. My tire is 225/65/17”

Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community opinion on the Bridgestone WeatherPeak is largely divided. Drivers praise the tire for its wet traction, snow performance, comfortable ride, and low initial road noise compared to stock tires. However, many users report significant concerns regarding premature tread wear, dry rotting or cracking, noise increases over time, and notable drops in fuel/EV efficiency.
“I just ordered a set for my 2010 Camry from Discount Tire. They match Costco. Plus an extra 5% using their credit card. Much less wait time than Costco too.”
“I was shopping CC2s for my wife's Pacifica and went with the Bridgestone Weatherpeak since they weren't directional, were lighter, and had a longer tread life. I've been really really happy with them, although this is the first set of great tires I've had on the van. The old factory ones were pretty bad.”
“I put on Bridgestone Weather peak all weather tires on my 2017. Great tires, better grip in snow than all weather tires.”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
