bridgestone R250

I posted a few days ago about tires for my 5er

Just checked, my tires will not be in for 3 to 4 days.
I was checking online for the bridgestone R250s
some reviews are saying only good above 60 degrees and no rain.
Am I making a mistake putting on my 5er. I am moving to klamath falls, and will get cold and rain.
are they only highway and no all weather

shoul I move to Michelin
thanks

    Well I will likely go with the Yokohama YK-HTX in a 235/85-16 for our Copper Canyon. While the Bridgestone R250 are a highly rated tire both them and the Michelin rib both have open grove water channels neither has much sipping which increases traction on wet pavement. The Yokohama YK-HTX has the sipping, this will help the 5er stop as well as the TV.

    I hate to confess this but the current "Tacoma" brand LT 235/85-16E tires currently on the rig are OEM, and are 12 years old! Tread is still good, and one tire is just starting to show age checking at the bead. They actually have a M+S tread design, but pretty tame.
    I will just state no tire older than six months.
