I’ve been using blizzaks for almost as decade as my winter tires on my ND. My winter wheels are -1” and the tires are slightly larger in diameter than my summers (~1%). They grip and I feel confident when driving in the snow or rain in winter months.
I run the WS90 215/45-17 on my ND. Works great & not a run flat. Extra diameter is negligible.
I have Bridgestone Blizzaks , and although I could probably get similar performance from some all-seasons with aggressive tread, I’ll admit I understand the hype over winter tires now.
Looking forward to the TireRack closeout sale on the RSs.
Also wonder if these will be as stiff as the Sport Rs since it mentioned these are stiffer than the RSs
I love the RE-71RS on my car, and my only gripe is the lack of sizes.
They’re also great in the rain if you like hydroplaning on the freeway.
This has been my tire choice for auto cross and it’s done amazingly well. Good feedback, good grip, stiff enough even for camber limited cars.
My two complaints is its longevity is not great but it’s a sprinter style tire. It’s not meant for endurance. And honestly, my biggest gripe is the cost.
The Blizzak 6 is closer to the Blizzak LM001 series. Better wet and dry handling, for performance cars vs SUVs and trucks going in deep snow.
Persönliche Erfahrung mit Allwetterreifen: wir haben jetzt seit ca. 2,5 Jahren Allwetterreifen auf unserer Familien-Möhre (Opel Corsa D 150ps). Diesen fahre ich sehr selten, da ich mein eigenes Auto habe, bei dem ich von Sommer auf Winterreifen tausche.
Ich habe das Auto dann im Frühjahr auf die Hebebühne gefahren, weil ich Mal drüberschauen wollte, wie der Zustand ist und habe etwas erschrocken festgestellt, dass die Vorderreifen nur noch ca. 1,7 mm Profil haben.
Just after 22,000 miles on the factory Bridgestones. My tires already needed to be replaced. 5/32 tread life left but I also had some inner tire wear going on.
Avoid the nittos. They just aren't a good value and the company is behind the curve on tire compounds. Bought a wheel and tire pack for tracking thinking the discount was good with tires, wish I just bought the wheels alone in retrospect.
