RE71R’s or full Hoosier slicky boys if I’m feeling spicy and really wanna set a PB.
Canadian here, winter tires are good enough for most driving on ice and snow. I've got a set of Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires on my Ford Edge FWD and it goes through all conditions just fine.
I swear by Sumitomo Ice Edge tires. I've had three sets now on three different vehicles and other than a couple of nights when there was freezing rain, I've never had issues with them
+1 for the Bridgestone Weatherpeaks. They are also symmetrical / non - directional so you can have a full size spare and do 5 tire rotation. I run them on my 09 STI in the northeast.
I use Bridgestone RE71Rs for both track/street and they are great!
you can look into Bridgestone RE-71R(S) for good grip with better longevity than a052
If you are getting a decent set, like say Bridgestone Blizzak WS90, you will be in the \~$125-180/tire range depending on size, plus mount and balance.
Absolutely. I live in northeast Ohio which has lake effect snow and I’ve used a second set of wheels with Blizzaks for years. They are almost as good as having 4WD. You won’t fishtail around corners and braking is good.
The Bridgestone RE780 AS is another excellent tire- I'd say it's nearly as good as the Michelin, definitely better than the BFG. Where it falls down is cost- it's about the same price as the Michelin PS A/S line of all seasons and does not have the same performance. Great in the dry, great in the wet- the dry grip is not as good as the Michelin.
My re050a's were totally worn out at 11k Miles.
