Bridgestone Duehler HP RFT 275/315

Has anyone actually ever driven w these tires in the snow? Granite I've heard my share of horror stories on how poorly they perform in inclement weather but we just had our first snowfall here today in NJ and I'll say these tires exceeded my expectations. Granite it wasn't a ton of snow and kinda slushy but just trying to get advice before investing in new tires since these ones I have are pretty new. Thanks

I have. You can do it, at slow speeds giving yourself plenty of distance. But they are terrible in the snow. I would recommend all season at the very least, but a winter setup would be best.

Bridgestone duller H/P is summer performance tires, not meant for snow or cold weather, driving these tires in snow or cold weather (<40*F) will accelerate wear. I had a set When i bough my car and it didn’t wear well, tire noise was very loud with 6/32 in (Bmw recommend 4/32 in replacement) and was very low speed speeds 20 mph and higher.
