I ran the Sport R on my ES MR2 after V730. The wear was better, better feel all around and probably slightly faster
While I agree that these tires have lived a full life and should be replaced, it’s impressive how well these tires have held up after 15 years. Nexen - I’m impressed.
But for A/T and H/T tires, I have been using Bridgestones for the longest time now.
I chose the Bridgestone weatherpeaks for my 21 forester. They were great in the rain on the highway and on dry gravel/dirt roads.
Bridgestone winter tires are better quality than the Firestone Winter Force unless you're looking to have them studded.
Like the Bridgestone Turanza 6 is pretty damn good, it's probably the best summer touring tyre on the market right now. Comfort and low noise typical of a touring tyre, with performance approaching a UHP.
I mean one of the first things I did on my Golf R was.... better rubber and it really did transform the car.(FYI... highly recommend the newish Bridgestone Potenza Sports). I guess the other point is.. don't skimp on tires. Pay for what you get.
I've had sidewall bubbles after pothole impacts on two previous low profile run flat Bridgestone tires which were on previous BMW's
These are my winter tires in Michigan. Seasonal roads only, they suck otherwise for off-roading.
If you are going for less than 40 thickness, dont buy cheap. For example, 235/20/35 nexen is bad, very bad. I had it and went for a check up and found out a bulge growing like a tumor on the inner side of the tire.
