I trusted my Blizzack tires in Alaska way more then I trusted studded tires. Very often studs are thrown into tires that are sub standard tires on snow and ice.
245 35 20, Bridgestone Potenza RE003. Not the best wet tyre, but great for street driving and will last..220 Treadwear you should get around 30-40,000km our of a set.
My 2016 came with OEM Bridgestone Ecopia EP 422 tires, and when I replaced them I went with the "Bridgestone Ecopia EP 422 PLUS" versions (only difference is that they are supposed to have slightly longer tread wear longevity.....) and I've been happy enough with them. No statistical efficiency tests, but they appear to be working about the same as the OEM non-plus models.
I have Bridgestone tires on my bike(Harley Fat Boy 114).
Very grippy in the corners, rear tire hooks up to the pavement for launches increadibly well.
7000miles on the tires and the middle still has a ton of tread life left.
I bought the same Bridgestone model after the OEMs on my wore down. Made sure to get a proper weight rating and it was way better than the OEMs.
I was Super curious about these tires because they look good and second was was the fact that the hybrid community was giving high praise to these tires. 1. They look great ???? 2. The efficiency is indeed high. I went from 3.7mi/kwh to a solid 4mi/kwh. I really like these tires now. The reviews were no joke. These tires have better "range" than the Michelin Energy Saver that they replaced. Some people look down on these "off-brand" tires as they want something more expensive and a name brand. These tires are just fine.
I had a set on a 2006 Mini Cooper sjcw 215 40 17s now the ride was harsh and stiff but let me tell you you hit a turn you'll come out of it with the biggest shit eating grin on your face you ever could think of. For the price I'd call it a best bang for your buck tire so since you got them drive them you'll see they're pretty good.
I've had same experience with their blizzacks. Great traction, horrible road noise.
Here's the 18" Cadiz wheels that came off 2015 Golf R. Stock 16" Astana wheels are beyond hideous, they are also heavy (e.g. 21 lbs.). As soon as you mount any sticky tires, irrelevant of size, your range will decrease by ~10%. The sole purpose of low resistance Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus tires is to float due to super firm carcass. These tires are terrible in dry and scary in wet.
Cooper, never had a bad tire from them. I can tell you who I don't trust. Bridgestone, namely Potenzas. They are great new, but a tiny bit of wear and they loose ALL wet traction, and it's scary unpredictable. Never again.
