Tires BRIDGESTONE or NANKANG
You may also look at Nankang AR1, 100tw semi slicks, if it’s only for track and dry days.
I had great experience, my car weighs 3k lbs, and the set lasted me for 16-17 track days, and it was a used set.
The grip in these tires is insane and improved braking drastically.
Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrak
I promise you they are the smoothest, quietest, and best all around for daily driving
I just bought the Bridgestone prestige. It’s a brand new model with few reviews. It’s an all weather that is supposed to be quiet. I only have a couple hundred miles in it so far, but it is quiet and I have been happy with it.
25 iX, 21' Bridgestone Alenza, got 9k. 70 city/30 highway, Southern CA. Replaced them with Hankook EVO. So far liking them way more.
I really like my Bridgestone potenza 980(bunch of letters)
I have some blizzak’s for pure snow and they perform extremely well but they’ve been in storage the last couple years because of the lack of snow. The compound is super soft and I don’t like driving on the pavement with them.
I've used Nokians for years but tried Blizzak WS-90s this time around because they were a fair bit less expensive. They seem fine but seem to have noticeably more rolling resistance than the Nokian, and I notice it's easier to spin them starting up on dry pavement in cold weather than I'd experienced with Nokian in the past. I'll be switching back to whatever Hakkapeliitta is current once these are worn out.
I have Blizzaks and compared to true studded winter tires like Nokian they are not on the same level. But if you dont have ice and snow all the time they have good wet grip.
I swapped to 19x8.5 Atomic AW21 wheels (21.3 lbs) with Bridgestone Blizzak 6 XL 235/55R19 tires. So it is a more narrow tire. After noticing my battery percentage dropping surprisingly fast on short trips, I put on the energy app some today and see I'm now using nearly 500 Wh/mi on that same day to day driving. I expected snow tires to have worse rolling resistance, but this seems like a lot. 50% more energy usage equates to a 33% reduction in range. Does that seem normal or excessive?
Dude, my set of nankang tires from week 44 2023, stored in a shipping container, are worse than this. Literally sidewall cracks all over. Tossed that shit out so fast...
