Pirelli Rosso IV's or Bridgestone S23 are probably the best 2 sport focused tires on the market right now that arent sports touring like the Mich Road 6's. I have S23's on my MT09 (came stock, and have since been replaced with a new set)
We had a really bad storm and the Bridgestone did fine on unplowed roads.
We have a '25 Sport and run Blizzaks on it and its been great the last two winters.
I have used the Bridgestone Turanza Allseason 6 on a Mazda CX5 2.5 AWD for 2 years and 20.000 km. They are excellent during summer heat and torrential rain on highways and I have yet to fond any issue with them on ice and snow, although the latter was limited. They are still at 7 mm tread.
I recently put the Bridgestones on my Mazda6 and they feel great in cold and wet weather, quite good in snow for all seasons too, but I haven’t had a chance to try them in proper European summer heat. My previous car had cc2 that were excellent in the snow, average on wet, and quite bad for my liking on summer drives. They just felt soft and flexi above 30c.
Just bought a new set of Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires to replace the old ones. Good snow tires and a stick shift makes it pretty good in the snow and just in time, we're getting buried tomorrow up here!
Falken AT4W’s are absolute tanks, loving them so far. They also look much more aggressive than they feel or sound which is a win win for aesthetics / highway
I’m using Falken Azenis. I was planning on Michelin pilot sports, but tariffs added almost $200 per tire so I went with Falkens from the stock Pirelli P Zeros.
What I’ve noticed:
Steering feel is noticeably worse. I noticed instantly. Honestly that doesn’t matter with a muscle car, but I liked the direct feel and confidence of the pirellis.
However, the new ride is nicer. Ride is slightly more comfortable, which for a daily driver is a valid trade off. Ride went from 4/10 to a 5/10 in comfort.
If the Pirellis grip at normal temperatures is an 8/10 the falkens are maybe 6.9/10. I’ve only had them for 200 miles so far though.
My pirellis needed to be replaced after 8k miles on the street. The falkens should last 30-40k miles. Oh and the pirellis turned in to glass below 50 Fahrenheit since they’re summer tires. I’m definitely going to try Michelins next, no matter the price, but I’m not upset at cheaping out ($320 a tire) this time.
I’m a little disappointed in the Mav (FWD hybrid) snow performance. Even got real nice Falken Wildpeak AT3 all-terrains in August since the factory continentals were dogshit. It gets by alright enough but still slips on acceleration. A lot.
My 22 came with Bridgestone ecopias. Worst snow performance ever.
