If they're the same Bridgstones that came on my 2001 Highlander, then I
can't explain the difference of opinion. They were fair to poor on dry
pavement, bad on wet pavement, and useless in snow. The Highlander could get
going OK in snow, but steering and braking were an absolute nightmare! Very,
very dangerous tires in the snow. I dumped them for Cross Terrains, and it
was like I bought a new vehicle. None of the bad habits of the Bridgstones,
and the car became a tank in the snow. No slipping and sliding, and traction
was simply amazing.
