Tires BRIDGESTONE or Uniroyal
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.
I drive spiritedly and the performance of the WP has not been disappointing although they are definitely not summer tires I also do not lose traction as easily in water or cold (New England).
So far, I have to say I love them! They are WAY quieter than the OEM Khumo's I pulled off my Seltos and the ride is excellent with them.
Bridgestone turanza 225/45/19, it’s noisy but I love’m it lasts for ages
One thing to note with 200TW autocross tires is that they usually will heat cycle out prior to the tread being done. For RE-71R's, that was always at about 125 runs with mine when I could get away with 200 runs and ~5k or more of street miles.
Are Bridgestone - POTENZA RE980AS+ any good?
Just chiming in here from Wisconsin also with a PP GTI. I also have the ****ty stock Bridgestone AS and they are completely useless in the snow. I don't blame the diff at all as it can't make a ****ty tire magically increase its friction coefficient or change its design pattern.
