I run the WS90 215/45-17 on my ND. Works great & not a run flat. Extra diameter is negligible.
I have Bridgestone Blizzaks , and although I could probably get similar performance from some all-seasons with aggressive tread, I’ll admit I understand the hype over winter tires now.
Looking forward to the TireRack closeout sale on the RSs.
Also wonder if these will be as stiff as the Sport Rs since it mentioned these are stiffer than the RSs
I love the RE-71RS on my car, and my only gripe is the lack of sizes.
They’re also great in the rain if you like hydroplaning on the freeway.
This has been my tire choice for auto cross and it’s done amazingly well. Good feedback, good grip, stiff enough even for camber limited cars.
My two complaints is its longevity is not great but it’s a sprinter style tire. It’s not meant for endurance. And honestly, my biggest gripe is the cost.
The Blizzak 6 is closer to the Blizzak LM001 series. Better wet and dry handling, for performance cars vs SUVs and trucks going in deep snow.
Lots of good info on here and from looking at the tire, I think they made a big improvement getting rid of the rib near the outside shoulder and moving all of them in board. My 71RS has shown wear on the outside edge and the outside edge of that outboard rib. This should help mitigate some of that and get a stronger contact patch in the corners.
We had Firestone Transforces on my dad\u2019s truck when I was in high school. Slightest hint of mud and they would pack up and slick off in an instant, but man they lasted a long time.
For whatever reason my Bridgestone tires always lasted half of their warranty if that, and generally sucked all around.
Just after 22,000 miles on the factory Bridgestones. My tires already needed to be replaced. 5/32 tread life left but I also had some inner tire wear going on.
