Tires OEM Mazda or BRIDGESTONE
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.
Lots of good info on here and from looking at the tire, I think they made a big improvement getting rid of the rib near the outside shoulder and moving all of them in board. My 71RS has shown wear on the outside edge and the outside edge of that outboard rib. This should help mitigate some of that and get a stronger contact patch in the corners.
Mine is a 2018 VA WRX base, I have Blizzaks, WS90 model and they're excellent in deep snow or ice.
I got 360k on an axle of Bridgestone Ecopia and 300K on the other axle.
Bridgestone has always worked for me. Usually go for 350k+.
The oem stock Bridgestone alenza tires that come with the prologue’s are garbage. I replaced the set on my 2024 touring prologue with a set of Pirelli scorpion as3 all weather tires. I got them from discount tire for around $800. So much better and smoother ride now.
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!
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.
I came here to see if it was just me and nope! At 30k miles I’m at 5/32. No way these will go to 70k. I’m going back to Michelin
We put a set of these on our 05 XC70 last year. 11K miles later they are down to 4/32 - 5/32. The tread wear is indeed terrible on these.
