Tires BRIDGESTONE or SUMITOMO
We have a '25 Sport and run Blizzaks on it and its been great the last two winters.
I have used the Bridgestone Turanza Allseason 6 on a Mazda CX5 2.5 AWD for 2 years and 20.000 km. They are excellent during summer heat and torrential rain on highways and I have yet to fond any issue with them on ice and snow, although the latter was limited. They are still at 7 mm tread.
I recently put the Bridgestones on my Mazda6 and they feel great in cold and wet weather, quite good in snow for all seasons too, but I haven’t had a chance to try them in proper European summer heat. My previous car had cc2 that were excellent in the snow, average on wet, and quite bad for my liking on summer drives. They just felt soft and flexi above 30c.
Shockingly fantastic in winter slop. I was expecting them to be bad compared to my Sumitomos. Nope. Even better in slop. 100% recommended. Great in the dry with very low noise and super highway tracking. Finally found the grail of cheap and awesome.
Sumitomo is a fantastic tire. I run their summer tires all year around ( In Texas, heavy sedan ) very stable at 85 mph+, quiet and stay planted.
Sumitomo tires wildly out perform their price tag. Have had them on a bunch of cars over the years and have never been unhappy about it.
22 own bridgestone and i’m about to replace them at 16k. mostly city driving. i could probably get more life out of them but got a new set on sale and the originals won’t make it to lease return so i went for it. these wouldn’t be my pick for replacement if i were keeping long term.
Pilot sport as4. I’ve run potenzas before and didn’t like how they rode after 10k miles.
My 22 came with Bridgestone ecopias. Worst snow performance ever.
Ecopia 422, OEM on my Nissan = Worst Tire Ever in my 50 years of driving.
