Tires BRIDGESTONE or IRONMAN
Battalax S21, nice and grippy and pretty affordable
I picked up a set of s22 while bridgestone was having their rebate deal, I'm going to have them put on after my next track day.
I love the Oem Bridgestone Dualers. Great MPG and mileage.
Put them on my parent’s 09 CR-V in the winter of 2020. Compared to the Michelin Premiers that were on prior, the Quiettracks were slightly louder and firmer, which makes sense since they’re 80k vs 60k. Overall though, they’re still decently quiet, round corners super well, and have handled all conditions. Parents drove in a snowstorm in Michigan with those tires and the they felt good the whole time.
I’ve used the S22s on my ‘19 ZX6R upto mid intermediate pace. Even though visually, your tire looks surprisingly good for 6 trackdays, I would err on the side of caution and go with fresh tires. You could still do fresh S22, they don’t tend to fall off a cliff (at least in my opinion) unlike some Dunlops.
Yep, had to replace mine last year. I was fortunate, caught a sale here locally and spent right at $3,000 installed. Bridgestone Ecopia 268, size 245/75R 22.5. On a 2006 Tiffin Allegro Bay.
At the end (last quarter of life) you can feel the grip slowly decreasing (mostly with the rear tire), but they're not becoming vicious at any moment.
I changed them at this moment because I was moving to the advanced group, but they're awesome tires : great mileage, great performance on the road (if you need more on the streets you're a criminal ????) and still good when it's cold or raining (not as good as the T32, but still very acceptable).
I have Bridgestone Potenza RE 71R tires and love them. Around town they are a bit stiff over bumps but around corners and higher speeds they are unreal traction and ride quality, Love them. I’ve never had them slide out on me and they are very sticky
I use 245-45-17 but ironman gen 2s have slightly less grip, and will last about as long. Only big downside I noticed is off throttle the ironmans will "float" alot more than the 595s. I started running the ironmans when the federals started going out of stock everywhere this summer
My car has RE97AS's on it. Basically rated 2.6 on ice traction...no wonder I slid down the entire off ramp. Ordered some blizzak LM-32's and some new rims.
