Just went from a Q5S to Q5A (190/55/17) . The grip is similar but there's less squish so it feels a bit more rigid. Rode Malibu canyons all day yesterday. Did great everywhere. The extra grooves helped keep me planted on dirty and wet roads. It's $100 cheaper than Q5S too.
I put westlake rp18 195/60r15s on my daily 96 accord. I've put around 2500 miles on them, and I have no complaints so far. They are just as noisy as the Firestone tires they replaced also.
I have Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra on my Toyota Highlander. They have been a great tire, reasonably quiet, good traction in all four seasons (central Wisconsin). Down side, not much tread left after 52k
Bridgestone LM005 or the new version. Very good performances on wet surfaces (they are good in snow also) but the wet is A which not a lot of winter tires have it.
Bridgestone, best on wet from the bunch and durable tyre, allaround great.
I’ve been running 205/50/R17 Westlake SA07 tires on my Mazda5 minivan since I bought it in late October 2023. The ride’s been smooth, and they’ve done well in both dry and wet conditions. Even in heavy rain, I haven’t had any hydroplaning or sketchy moments.
The Bridgestones i just put on a week or 2 ago for this season so I don't know the life span on them yet but wet weather was decent (atleast now that they are brand new).
Potenza Sports have a really stiff side wall. They in turn produce a loudee road noise.
I've had my Mazda 3 turbo for 20k miles now and in that time, 2 of the Turanza tires had sidewall bubbles that compromised them. Not to mention, they are just noisy and feel like they have pretty lame grip. They are not confidence-inspiring at all and suck in the cold.
They are garbo. I got 30k out of my turanzas before I had to get new ones. I went with the Michilin Cross Climate 2. Totally worth it.
