Bridgestone ecopia 300 is really quiet compared to my stock maxiss tires
I strongly recommend proper winter tires. At a minimum, at least get winter rated all weather tires. We had a lot of slushy bullshit build up today. The only reason I was able to get out of my neighborhood & make it to a Dr's appointment was because I run Blizzaks on my ND1.
I have Bridgestones in my GTI in 17s with 215/50r17 and obviously don't feel as sporty as 19s but they're great for winter.
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'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 had a nail in my tire with a very slow leak and went to a random tire shop. They did a crappy plug that was not designed for the Elite's self healing tires so I ended up with a very FAST leak instead.
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?
