Tires BRIDGESTONE or KENDA
On my old M3, I used Bridgestone quiettracks .- they had an 80,000 mile warranty, and I only paid full price once:-).
Couldn't find Michelin Pilot Alpin 5s in the size I needed so I tried the new Bridgestone Blizzak 6s and so far I'm very happy with them. Super stable on dry highways, Michelin X-Ice Snows were a wobbly mess that made me feel like I was in a boat.
Always had luck with general. But every car rides different currently my Impala likes Bridgestone, my previous vehicles ate Bridgestone.
I'm now on my 3rd winter on Blizzaks because Costco had a deal on them at the time and I thought I'd give them a try. I find them similar, but probably better from the standpoint that I used to be able to spin the X-Ices too easily taking off from a light in slippery conditions, and I can't say that I've noticed that issue as much with the Blizzaks.
For price and performance bridgestone blizzak dmv2. Hands down. You will have a different kind of confidence driving in that crap. Its night and day
OEM Bridgestone Alenza tires are known to be trash and the rears were completely done by ~17k miles. I have ~37k miles on the Michelin CrossClimates and the rears probably have another 20k left in them, fronts have another 30-40k left in them.
I was running stock Bridgestones - they’re 240 TW. They’re street tires and I don’t think I do enough track days to go w a more track oriented tire. They felt quite good on track. Not great. Good.
I ran m 42 psi on a recent track day and had some mild sidewall running.
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.
