Mine came with Hankook which didn't even last a tank of gas before I put new rims/tires on which made a HUGE difference. Ended up going with Bridgestone Sports which compete with the Michelin PS4S. Never have looked back. Great tire and really transformed the handling of the car.
Mine came w the Bridgestones - Potenza S0005 - they are excellent. Grip is so good that w UHP all seasons on the difference in grip is really noticeable - this car has such high limits/power that the difference is significant. Yes, the Bridgestones are noisy, especially on the highway.
I used to have BT-023s, unlike many here I thought they were fine (and better than the BT-021s I had before). But yeah, *looooong* warm-up time...
I have BT023s on my old Triumph, on my second set now and my choice is extremely limited due to the rare tyre size it has! Never had any problems with them, rode through last winter on them and they were 100%.
One word from a senior Minnesotian
Bridgestone (Blizzacks) premium Winter Tire Possibly around the same price but superior in every way.
I don't understand what the noise complaints are about, honestly. I didn't notice anything different from my stock turanzas.
They're the best tires i've ever owned.
I’d go with Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultras. They are solid in all types of weather, quiet, and absorb bumps in the road very well. I have them on my cx9 and plan to put them on my wife’s cx50 when the time comes. I’ve been very impressed by them.
I've been running them year-round on my 2009 S2000 since new - on Vancouver Island. Total no go in snow, didn't ever even consider of going on the highway, but backed out onto the driveway once when there was a couple inches of snow so I could move some stuff around in the garage. Only a slight incline, but it was not pretty getting back in. That said, we get lots of rain and they've worked well as long as there aren't serious puddles.
I gave up and replaced them all at 12K miles after the second blowout. Plus they ride and handle so much better than those shitty Turanzas.
Avoid the Firestone on ridge, had a nail in a BRAND NEW tire and they tried to sell me 2 new ties, my car isn't even a year old and they tried to rip me off. I got it plugged up and will never go back to them.
