Love these tires. Run them on my WRX which is significantly heavier, and am between 28 and 30 PSI depending on ambient temp. They are very progressive with their grip, at the upper limits of grip, it is progressive in how much it slips, not just all or nothing. Have fun with them!
I am using Uniroyal MS Plus 77, in size 255/40/19, last winter they were good, no slips, good braking on wet and mood, will see this year how they will be.
I’ve had the Bridgestone Ecopias on my previous car 2010 Mazda 3 GT and now my 2019 Jetta. I have found better mileage on these tires than with others. Not great in heavy snow so I put snows on for the winter.
I have had one set of the Tiger Paws. Was very happy with them. Didn't feel mushy, cornering vastly improved over the Michelin tires.
Changed over to winter tires (Blizzak) around Thanksgiving and put about 10K miles on them over the winter. No issues, handles great.
So far I have had good luck with Bridgestone Blizzak W80 snows for my Subaru Legacy sedan. I have a set of 4 that currently have 34,000 Winter miles on them and they aren't worn enough to require replacement yet - I should get another Winter season out of them. So for longevity I find these tires have done well for me .
Speaking with my local shop after my tire rotation, they recommended the Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 18" for when winter comes.
Any thoughts on this one?
Blizzaks have been great
FWIW I am also in Oregon and have found the the Indy 500s inferior to the OEM Bridgestones in the dry, but better in most other respects.
Definitely a great wet tire - though my wheel hop is back despite the RMM. On a very wet onramp (99E SB to 224... aww yeah) I was able to hold a 4 wheel drift, pretty cool for a FWD car. But the turn-in still feels a little too..... normal.
I have had a few sets of blizzacks, and while they were great on slick roads, I found they were not good going through a few inches or more of snow and were terribly "mushy".
