Blizzacks are the best.
Reviews of BRIDGESTONE parts For Business
Japan
I went from the stock Primacy to Bridgestone Potenza sports (300tw) and the difference in grip is absolutely noticeable and worth it.
I just replaced my stock Dunlop with Bridgestone Turanza 6 three days ago and they felt great.
For winter tires I'm using Bridgestone Blizzak WS90.
I have Bridgestone Blizzaks.
I got myself bridgestone blizzak lm005 winter tired, so far no complains.
Went with Bridgestone RE-71RS set. Paid $950 USD for set of four from Tire Rack in October and paid to have them heat cycled by them.
So far: 1198 street miles, 4 days of Autocross with 46 runs on them.
There was about 3-4 mm of tread left on the tires when I replaced the original Bridgestone S005s (with 7,000 miles including one track day). I had a track day coming up so I wanted fresh tires but might have got a little more life if I really pushed them. I remember reading reviews on Tire Rack's website about people getting similarly short life out of them (maybe the other alternative OEM tires fare better but they're all 240 TW). I replaced the Bridgestones with Michelin PS4S (300 TW), so it will be interesting to see how they do. To be honest, on previous cars, I've never got more than about 25,000 miles our of HP or UHP all-season tires with 500-600 TW ratings so the 7,000 - 8,000 miles for these didn't surprise me.
Probably would not recommend these tires after having them for a couple years on the S60 and about 15 months on our XC70... The XC70 just went in to the tire shop because we had some sidewall damage (accidental curb strike) with only about 11K miles on the tires. They measured tread depth and it seems they were about 70% gone.
My last set of Bridgestone Potenza tires lasted maybe 15k miles, but we’re totally bald on the inside by the 10k mark or less. Very dodgy in the rain to drive.
