Bridgestone WeatherPeak vs Michelin CrossClimate 2 — Compared

“Major efficiency drop w new Bridgestone Weatherpeaks I recently replaced my worn out stock tires (the OEM low rolling resistant EV friendly ones) on my ‘22 Bolt EV 2LT with Bridgestone Weatherpeak 215/50R17’s mainly due to a sale at Costco Tires. I wanted the snowpeak rating as winter is upon us. However, my efficiency dropped dramatically since, going from an average of 4.5 miles per KWh (even in the dead of winter averaging 30 degrees F) to around 3.1 miles, often even lower when it gets really cold; was even low as 2.9 miles per KWh last week. Anyone else have similar experiences? Read more”

“installed Weatherpeaks on m y '19 Touring at 36,000, April 2024 ; nice & quiet for the first 4,000 miles; turn-in less sharp than the oem Duellers which reduced the tendency to oversteer - (a good thing) Yikes - at 4,000 miles use (40,000 odo) they became NOISY - sound like driving on dedicated Snow Tires ; GODAWFUL FOR HIGHWAY TOURING - tried 3 Rotations over the next 10,000 mi - NO IMPROVEMENT in noise - Last Week - at 14,000 use (8/32 tread remaining) one tire got a road hazard "blister' & needed to be replaced (Now COSTCO no longer sells them & can't won't honor warranty) ..." just buy 4 new tires , please " p.s. COSTCO still put the "blistered" tire onto my car on Left Frt - so apparently it was not seen as a huge hazard to them ??? so, January 2026 , i decided to replace WITH PRIMACY TOURING a/s - YIKES constant road NOISE is even worse than the Weatherpeaks !!! even in a parking lot & smooth city streets Will probably put the Weatherpeaks back on cuz i get still get one (10/32 new) from America's Tire”

“Bridgestone Weatherpeak worth more than Michelin Pilot sport all season? Finally it's that time - new tires :( I happen to live close enough to costco, so I'm leaning toward getting tires from them. I was looking at Bridgestone Weatherpeak, because i've been using Bridgestone tires for as long as I can remember, but I saw michelin pilot sport all season 4 for roughly $100 cheaper (for 4). I don't mind spending more if it's worth the extra cost. Just for some info. it's a 2019 impreza, and I live near Seattle. Not a lot of snow, but mostly rain. lots of rain. We have a separate car that we drive for more rugged weather and train.”

“CrossClimate2 in. Alenza Run Flats out. Swapped the Alenza run flats for CrossClimate2 all-weather tires. Sharper handling. Better ride comfort. Very quiet after an initial break-in period. Just make sure the tire pressure is as recommended on the door sill sticker, shop techs don’t always check. I’m an early adopter of CC2 tires, been using them on my old Jeep since 2022, super durable and perfect for inclement weather, still had some tread remaining at the 60k-mile warranty mark.”

“I have the 235 that is a little higher load rating (105 vs 103 stock and 99 for 225). I'm probably getting about a 10% range reduction, but worth it to me for the improved handling and lower braking distance. I work from home and I charge to 90% about once a week unless taking a longer drive. If I did a lot of longer trips it might be an issue, but I am very happy with these tires.”

“Michelin CrossClimate2 efficiency surprisingly good! Just put in a new set of Michelin CrossClimate2s to go along with a move from LA to New England. I was a bit worried about the mileage/range hit but figured the safety in the winter outweighed it. I'm pleasantly surprised! On an all-highway trip from Boston to New Jersey, gas MPG was a steady 42 mpgs and I got about 45 miles on the battery, although I drive like a grandma at the posted speed limits so I think I was close to 44 mpg/45 EV miles on the old OEM tires. Around town in suburbia in good weather I'm still running between 4.0-5.0 miles/kWh. I estimate, at worst, a 5% drop in efficiency. Pretty good considering the Michelins feel so much stickier!”
