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.
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.
I have a 2019 100D with 22s, and I use the Pirelli Scorpions. My rears have lasted pretty long I\u2019m still on my replacement set from 1.5years ago, just replaced my fronts.
Mine is a 2018 VA WRX base, I have Blizzaks, WS90 model and they're excellent in deep snow or ice.
My R came from the factory with the Bridgestone Potenza S005s. They're decent for daily driving—good grip in the dry and pretty quiet—but they’re not amazing in the wet.
Bridgestone - from a handling perspective they are great - from a road noise perspective - they are a bit loud. I won't buy them again, but I'm certainly not throwing them away.
For whatever reason my Bridgestone tires always lasted half of their warranty if that, and generally sucked all around.
Got a new wheel set with Pirelli P Zeros for the summer. They didn't make it to September Before the tread was gone.
