Tires Firestone or RIKEN
I've had great luck with firehawk indy 500. They're 320 tw. I'm an okay intermediate driving a 2010 mx5. I'm not sliding the car around much at all.
They're great street tires and have been able to get more than 6 track days on them thus far. Tires still has more in them.
Firestone Indy 500 tires the car is sucked to the ground.
I have Firestone Winterhawk 4, and they are great. Its basically budget version of Blizzaks as they are owned by Bridgestone. I am in central Europe and we have mild and wet winters as well, my driving profile includes everything, I will do 500km on the highway, mountain pass and then city driving and they work perfectly. We have them on 3 cars already. I was thinking about something more premium, but I am perfectly happy with them.
I personally use 205/50r16 Firestone Winterforce 2's on my MK7 for Iowa Winters, it's a great tire and I've had little issues with it.
I currently have Firehawk AS V2's on mine. I live in an area that gets all four seasons, and they've served me well in the rain and snow/ice. I'm sure I'm sacrificing some summer performance, but that's pretty far from my priority. No issues with excessive wear or tire noise
Licna preporuka za neku budget gumu je Riken, odlicna po suhom, drzi nenormalno po suhom, nesto slabija po mokrom.
My wife bought a car from carvana and i noticed on delivery that the tires were at the wear bars. Took it to Firestone, they filed a claim with SR on the spot and had new tires in a couple of hours. Can’t complain about that.

Just got these on my wife's cx5 and yeah they didn't feel much better than the blizzaks we just removed. Then she texted over the weekend to say they're the loudest tires she's ever had and the road noise is terrible.
These tires are terrible. I’m in MA and they struggle in light snow. Mine only have 32k miles but I’m replacing them asap because they are actually dangerously bad, even in 4WD
