I don’t know about consensus but I had XI2 and WS80 on the same car, the Bridgestone’s were so much better. Again, just my personal experience.
For all season, Bridgestone’s are far from being my favourite.

I read detailed reviews of each on 1010tires, blackcircles, and tirerack, and all three tires are like mid tier, not even in the top 3 of their categories.MikeyCanuck wrote: ↑ I only need All seasons in Victoria. Any feedback on comparison of the following 3 tires?
DRIVEGUARD - $199
DUELER H/L ALENZA PLUS - $179
ECOPIA H/L 422 PLUS - $179
Family minivan target vehicle.
I should have taken advtange of that black circles deal posted earlier...

I have a Sienna as well, great car but they have a bad reputation for tires (and brakes). Mine is AWD which is even worse (google it). And, AWD has no spare tire, so (at least theoretically) I need the run flats.adysworld31 wrote: ↑ I have the ecopias on my Sienna. After 4 summers (only - I use winter tires in winter) the tires are worn. Only about 50,000-60,000 km on them at most. Actually just went in to Costco to check a potential leak and they said the tires have to be replaced. Forgot to ask about the warranty (110,000 km). I definitely won’t buy Ecopias again.
Hope this helps.

I would definitely ask about the warranty! You should be refunded close to 50% of the purchase price.adysworld31 wrote: ↑ I have the ecopias on my Sienna.

In your reading did you do a "best bang for the buck" comparison? Did you come to a consensus on what you choose otherwise? I really don't need high end tires... and at 20% savings off pretty much an already mid tier price ($179) for a mid tier tier, I'm probably mostly looking for a reason NOT to buy. Either huge road noise or very poor handling probably. Even heavy wear as long as covered by warranty I'm not that worried about, though I've taken note of the poor wear report on the Ecopias.

all three of them performed mediocre (6.5/10 or around 2.7/5) in wet conditions, which matters.MikeyCanuck wrote: ↑ In your reading did you do a "best bang for the buck" comparison?

I think I will be sticking to Michelin, Continental, or Pirelli all seasons.

Yeah, I've been running on the same set of XI3s since 2014. No problems with them at all. They will probably last another season or 2.
I'm just wondering if maybe I should switch to Bridgestone's or stick with Michelin's when I change over next.

Ya, I didn’t think there was a lot of selection for all seasons for an SUV. My wife has the Ecopia’s bought last year and haven’t been too impressed.
I’ve got Dueller’s on mine an they are done at 50k km, so that’s no glowing endorsement.

Would someone be able to recommend a set of tires for me? I have a 2020 Highlander with:
20” Alloy Wheels & P235/55R20 All-Season Tires
I’d need to buy the rims along with the winter tyres.
It’s going to be a daily commute of 40k each way, and I’d like to get something that’s ranked very well.
Would appreciate maybe a couple options I can read reviews on, but it’s a bit overwhelming to start from scratch.

Huh... Has Costco always redirected you offsite for wheel purchase? I thought they used to sell at least steelies.

Xi3 are amazing tires. Great wear, great grip. Unfortunately not meant for SUVs. Love them on my car.
Xi2 Lattitude. Great wear, disappointed in performance on minivan. Thinking about the DM-V2 or going with studded Altimax or Hakkas... since new XIce are not available in my vans size.
Concerned with speed of wear on Bridgestones.
Any Dm-v2 fans?

The Alenza seems to come up as the top SUV tire on more than one site, including the #1 SUV tire on black circle site.

The new XIce Snow look like they are top contenders. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/te ... p?ttid=258
RFD is not just about saving money, it's about the thrill of the hunt and getting the stuff I want without paying full price like Joe Shmoe did.
This applies to everyday items as well as high end items that I don't really need.

So if it takes 12 days to receive them and you have up to 14 days to book installation then that should take me into October.

I am interested in a set of these for my expedition and I see 2 options for 275/55/20. Either the Dueler HL Alenza ($229) or HL ALENZA PLUS ($259). Is it worth spending the extra on the PLUS?
The Plus seems to be a newer model but has different speed ratings - like T vs H for regular Alenza.

I'm going to have to call my local Costco tire centre to see if I can pick up the tires and bring them back for install at a later date. I need wheels but want to hold out until late September to see if they will have another wheel deal this year.
Does anyone know when these one day sales usually go live? At midnight?

Thanks OP. Looks like installation would need to occur sometime around the start of October. I'm not doing a ton of driving now anyways so having winters on 1.5 months early isn't a huge deal, plus I'd be beating the winter rush.
Does anyone know if this is 20% off the tire price only or the entire purchase price (tires, installation, levy)?
BTW if anyone isn't ready to hop on this deal yet, costco will be offering a $100 shop card when purchasing Bridgestone tires between September 14-27.
