Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus (Original Equipment) 

I got this tire as part of a new SUBARU Forester 2024 bought at the end of the model year as they were bringing in the 2025’s. The first winter it wasn’t great for very light snow traction, but the second year it was horrible. In fall I noticed wet traction felt unsure/slippery, and in heavy rain felt like I was sliding or hydroplaning. Once winter hit, it felt out right dangerous on even light snow, with only 20k miles. It provided bad traction on turns, and barely kept a straight line on highway snow.
I’m now getting them removed and in their place the Michelin x climate 2. If you drive any snow, this is not a good all season option. Apparently they’re good for roll resistance and gas mileage. The cost of the early new tires blew any savings I got on gas mileage.

Factory OEM tire for my 2022 Toyota Venza. Horrible noisy tires that don’t last. Quit likely the worst tire that I have ever had. Especially when you factor in how much they cost. Traction is ok in the dry and fair in the wet. I have driven in very little snow with these tires, but they are not confidence inspiring.

If you live in a warm dry climate where it's 75° and sunny everyday, these tires are for you. If you live in the Midwest or any region that receives snow or ice consider all-weather tires or dedicated snow tires.

OE on my new CRV. The first year on these tires was decent for ride, traction, noise. After 20K things turned for the worse. Road noise is noticeable worse. Everything but dry traction is also worse. As others have commented snow\ice traction is miserable. I've had multiple instances of sliding sideways on corners at very low speeds. So dangerous in fact that these tires will likely need to be replaced by next winter with likely only 35K on them. I have not measured the tread but I'd say by just looking to get 40K out of them would be a lucky. I won't be seeing that.

With respect to them on the CRV, if you do have them be 100% sure to rotate them before the standard oil change light comes on. Amazingly I didn't get that light till approx. 18K miles if I'm remembering correctly. That is way way way too long for both a tire rotation and an oil change (on a 4 cylinder turbo I wouldn't go longer than 5K). I wasn't thinking and waited. After that first oil change I rotated and have even more excessive road noise. I suspect uneven wear although not really visible to the naked eye. Additionally don't expect the CRV traction control to bail you out. In the instances I've lost traction in snow I have failed to detect it even intervening.

Love Tire Rack. Made multiple purchases over the years. Love their standard warranty as well. If your buying low profile tires its well worth buying here just for that.
