I ran Duratracs on my truck for a few seasons and they did fine in the winter. Last season I got a set of Blizzaks for the winter and they're game changing! The Duratracs were good in the winter but the Blizzaks are insanely good! You can't beat a dedicated set of winter tires in my opinion!
I’ve run both KO2’s and Blizzaks for the winter on my truck and I travel to the mountains regularly. I fully recommend spending the extra money for a proper winter tire set. The KO2’s weren’t bad, but its night and day compared to the blizzaks
As for tires I would recommend 2024 stock for better brands like Bridgestone. Chinese tires will cause noise and easily a 10% drop in fuel economy. I've personally experienced this.
Only problem is the tires are transmitting way too much noise into cabin . But other than that it is an incredible ride.
Also ideally get low rolling resistance tires that can get you an extra 5% range next time you need new tires.
All about the Blizzaks. They make driving safer, but also FUN.
I have Bridgestone All Season 6 on my car and they are extremely good on all types of roads, at freezing temperatures, and on wet roads. Can’t think of a single bad thing to say about them.
The previous owner put RE-71s on it. That’s an amazing autocross and track tire but it is not great in the rain. I’ve never driven a Miata on REs in the rain but I have driven other cars on them and it was dicey to say the least, that car had ABS and traction control and I was still limited in the highway.
Bridgestones are meh and overpriced. Ecopias are just meh.
These are absolute JUNK. 35k miles on a well maintained Lexus RX 450h with normal driving - they are toast. We were going to change them in July because they are to the wear bars - except one bubbled a sidewall and blew while sitting in the parking lot today.
