Remember that the rotary engine burns oil by design and does not particularly like eating synthetics. Expect to use old fashioned dino juice and change your oil every 3000 miles.
I just got some DWS06's last week and so far they are fantastic. I had contiprocontacts on before.
I have them, run them on my ES miata, couldn't be happier with their performance on the course. I've heard the re71r is a bit more predictable with stepping out and I would believe that. Also, for daily driving, these things hum like there is a cessna flying low behind you. I have won ES Class in one of the events I ran them in against 6 or 7 others.
I've recently put the Michelin Costco wipers on and they're great! These cost me CAD $10 per front blade.
Get some Blizzak's from Costco while they are on sale. They have been a huge upgrade on my Mazda.
I'll be putting on the General Altimax Arctics that have gone on the wife's 3 for the last few years. They're unkillable. Too bad the car is still mediocre in the snow due to the light weight over the drive wheels and the traction (out of) control. The Frontier will need a decent set of A/T's to get through the winter. Been thinking the Cooper Discoverer AT/3. I've gotten almost 50k out of the stock tires, not bad IMO. The Mini will have to soldier on with the crappy all seasons that are on it right now. It will not likely see much, if any, snow.
Now on the shocks: Before I cut the bump stops, the car would frequently bottom out on the rears, so they weren't really able to do any work. Afterwards though, she smooth. I'll still feel bumps and holes through the chassis from the springs and hear the tires going over cracks, but I don't really feel the cracks quite as much. Train tracks that used to rock the wheels are more floaty and smooth now.
I have the V2 Concept2 all-seasons on my Mazda3 and the Ventus V12 Evo K120 summers on my Mustang. You really get what you pay for. The Concept2's have good ride and noise, but the wet performance is abysmal. The Ventus V12s are a decent performance tire but they greatly lack the dry grip of Pirelli P Zeros or Michelins.
Went from Toyo all-seasons to Bridgestone RE-71Rs. It was... absurd.
Now my car has Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 on them and they're... so disappointing. My friends all comment on how well my car grips but after experiencing what is essentially road-legal racing slicks I just find myself a bit disgusted with how easily these break traction.
Cardone parts in general are not good and their remanufactured stuff is more like they washed it and put it in a new box.
