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.
Mine is a 2018 VA WRX base, I have Blizzaks, WS90 model and they're excellent in deep snow or ice.
I got 360k on an axle of Bridgestone Ecopia and 300K on the other axle.
Bridgestone has always worked for me. Usually go for 350k+.
The oem stock Bridgestone alenza tires that come with the prologue’s are garbage. I replaced the set on my 2024 touring prologue with a set of Pirelli scorpion as3 all weather tires. I got them from discount tire for around $800. So much better and smoother ride now.
I ran Duratracs on my truck for a few seasons and they did fine in the winter. Last season I got a set of Blizzaks for the winter and they're game changing! The Duratracs were good in the winter but the Blizzaks are insanely good! You can't beat a dedicated set of winter tires in my opinion!
I've had Hakkas, X-Ice and Blizzaks.
Blizzaks seemed to degrade the worst of the bunch and performance fell off faster than the X-ice and hakkas.
I had a total blow out with one tire while pulling the trailer empty. Total miles on the tires was maybe 300 max. Now (2025), I have probably less than 1500 miles on the trailer and another Goodride tire needs replacing.
For whatever reason my Bridgestone tires always lasted half of their warranty if that, and generally sucked all around.
