I just checked Tire Rack for the 17in size tires and they're in stock. There's also a Bridgestone version.
For good budget tires that last over 2 years and have ok performance for the weekend enthusiasts… Toyo Extenza HP are the way to go…. Had mine For 2 years and still have meat…and much quieter than the Nexen….
In winter I run a set of Blizzaks in 225/40/18 on the factory wheels. Car is excellent in snow
All 4 wheels are in perfect condition. No scratches, bends or dents. They were installed on my 2024 Golf R for 3k miles Tires are in perfect condition with only 3k miles. Bridgestone Potenza S005 235/35/19 8.5x19 rim size ET45 offset
For my winter set I'm using the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 (205/55/r16) and while not as good in the snow as the Conti WinterContact, they handle amazingly in wet conditions (we get quite a bit of rain) and are relatively silent and good on fuel.
I agree with the Crossclimate II review. Had them for 2 winters now, and they grip just as good as the Toyo observe GSI5 winters I had, while being quieter and smoother.
The Bridgestone is going to be faster. The nankang would probably wear a little bit better call and is more heat tolerant. But not as fast when cold, and also heavier. If you were happy with the Bridgestone I would have to say probably stay there
They replaced it with a Bridgestone SureDrive Touring.
I know someone who had a blow out running his RE-71R's in the winter, apparently
Once I got a chance to try them in the rain, I realized there was a problem compared to Michelin. I was fishtailing all over the place on a wet road. That’s never happened to me with Michelin.
