Tires BRIDGESTONE or Nokia
have previously tried pilot support 4 but they didn't quite work as well on my car on initial turn in and wore a bit faster but both tyres are amazing in all conditions.
I'm happy with them so far, but they do wear faster.
Huge upgrade from the Michelins I had, which were horrible for fuel economy.
As for the ride, it is very quiet and more comfortable with the larger sidewall vs the 22. The road noise is about the same as the OEM, which is good as I moved to a more aggressive AT tread, which I expected to be louder. It is surprisingly quiet.
The Bridgestone Weatherpeak is a better option. The WeatherPeaks have the advantage of being able to be actually rotated correctly.
Currently I’m running Bridgestone Potenza all season and they are good overall. Not as grippy as the continental, but unless you’re doing track days or a lot of street racing, you won’t really notice any difference. They’ve been comfortable and give pretty much the same MPG as the continentals I had before.
(2009 R1) Used S22's in heavy rain and roasting hot on track then used them to commute the following day. Worked perfectly fine in all conditions.
my Nokian One's are better than the OEM Michelin Primacy and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 that I tried.
They are fine, feel rather soft.
I had them on an Audi A4 one winter, it snowed a decent amount that year but there were plenty of non-precipitation days and they were OK (a little noisy) on highway and city.
Ran the blizzaks through 4-6 inches of snow and was barely making it through that. I never had less confidence in the snow than on those WS80 blizzaks. They were almost worse than the Sotozorro 3’s I had on my R two winters ago. Those I’ll excuse those because they were at least OK in the dry, otherwise they were pretty terrible in anything but light snow.
