So far I really like them. No range hit I can’t blame on them being brand new tires, great warranty, and way better traction and cornering.
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 just put four new Bridgestone Ecopia’s on my 2016 LX and I’m noticing a smoother, softer ride. Not much quieter, as I detected a bit more road noise than my last set, but I think that’s because my old tires were so worn down.
As far the the tires themselves: for all-season tires, I'd recommend Nokian WRG, as they're all-season tires that have a winter tire rating, so you'll get better traction in the snow.
Blizzaks is what I have on. They are amazing
I had Ecopias (EDIT: EL-400s) on my Mazda3. They would not die. At like 90k miles I replaced them because they had gotten hard and the snow traction declined... they still had a decent amount of tread left.
The problem I’m trying to solve is that after about 1500 miles they’ve become very noisy. I mounted them in November last year and they were quiet at first. A while ago they began to get noisy at 35 mph but now they’re "singing" at all speeds. They’re directional tires and are mounted correctly. There’s only very slight scalloping on the right rear tire. One theory is that the rubber is wearing faster than the studs and as they project further they make noise. A Nokian dealer suggested the warming of the roads as spring approaches is somehow to blame. My wife’s Audi B5S4 has Hakka 8s and they’re older and quieter. The Hakka 9s are supposed to have an "improved " stud.
