Tires BRIDGESTONE or Firestone
The OEM Bridgestone tires were terrible....The Firestones have been great.
I just put these on our Commodore in 245/45R18. They replaced a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE003's. Initial impression is that they aren't any noisier than the Potenza's, possibly a bit quieter. Haven't driven in a heavy rain yet but the performance on slick roads was also good. My biggest concern is that they were going to totally spoil the handling but cornering at civilised speeds is still satisfying. Certainly they don't have anywhere near the dry grip of the Potenza's but they're fine for everyday use.
They ride great, have great traction in wet weather and do not seem to exhibit excessive wear. Well priced compared to Bridgestones and I have no complaints.
I got HP108s which were $400 total with installation they work just as well as my “Firestone firehawks” which was $860let’s just see if the tread last as long. They work excellent in the rain and I drive on country backroads and highway 6 days a week to work 120 miles a day and I drive like a maniac they’ve been holding up well
Bridgestone Turanza Quiettracks. Rock. (A huge improvement vs OEM Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires.) Based on my past experience with this and other Michelin tires, not entirely sold on the Michelin brand.
I've been driving all types of vehicles on all types of tires for more than 50 years. The two best value tires I ever owned were Douglas (identical tread and design as my original Pirelli P77's) on an AWD Volkswagon Quantum and a set of Bridgestone Turanzas on a Mitsubishi Diamante (smooth and quiet as driving on glass). Both of these tires gave me over 52,000 miles of excellent service.
I just bought Bridgestone Alenza for my Lexus NX300h
have some re003s on mine, but i’ve noticed they can get a little squealy off the line, even while dry
I wasn’t a fan of the original Bridgestones. They died an early death with just freeway driving due to a track focused wheel alignment.
The problem with LRR tires is they suck at doing the things you need a tire to do, like braking and cornering. I once put a set of Bridgestone Ecopias on a Mazda5... A FWD minivan with 153 Horsepower should not be able to spin the tires all the way through 1st and 2nd gears taking off from a stop sign.
