Michelin is expensive, almost double more expensive than Bridgestone. I have not seen anything different between them so far. I like the Bridgestone so far.
Ended up getting Bridgestone Potenza S-04 (since they were on sale). Car is now stable.
I decided to do a shotgun approach to find the solution so I upgraded the dog bone and pendulum mount, eibach sport springs, apr rear sway, 18x9 oz wheels with 235 45 18 re-71’s, I don’t think those tires last very long but wow they’re awesome for now. I can make the tires spin if I want but I can actually launch my car and ease my way through first pretty good and then 2nd on is no traction problems to speak of.
I’ve run all three brands on my GTI and I drive my car hard Was using Bridgestone RE01 tires on the track last
2 seasons before moving to NC, I purchases some expensive [Blizzaks](https://www.bridgestonetire.com/tire-brand/blizzak) that had not been swapped out for summer tires before the car was shipped here (shipped in March). Once we were settled in Durham, I took the car to a local place to get my inspection for plates and all the old guys at Ingold Tire were like "what are these?". They had never seen "snow tires" and they SELL tires.
Love these tires. Run them on my WRX which is significantly heavier, and am between 28 and 30 PSI depending on ambient temp. They are very progressive with their grip, at the upper limits of grip, it is progressive in how much it slips, not just all or nothing. Have fun with them!
I’ve had the Bridgestone Ecopias on my previous car 2010 Mazda 3 GT and now my 2019 Jetta. I have found better mileage on these tires than with others. Not great in heavy snow so I put snows on for the winter.
Changed over to winter tires (Blizzak) around Thanksgiving and put about 10K miles on them over the winter. No issues, handles great.
I bought my MT10 with 3200 miles on the clock, it now has 5800 and is in need of a new rear tyre. Really only due to the centre wearing out, it's down to about 2mm.
Skip the Bridgestone Ecopias. Life span on a LEAF is 20-30k miles. Terrible grip too.
