I've had my Mazda 3 turbo for 20k miles now and in that time, 2 of the Turanza tires had sidewall bubbles that compromised them. Not to mention, they are just noisy and feel like they have pretty lame grip. They are not confidence-inspiring at all and suck in the cold.
I've been running Blizzaks (WS80, then WS90) on the stock wheels on my '18 Sportwagen since new and have loved them.
I got weatherpeak 2.5 years ago, and about 31k on them now. Now the thread is about 3/32nd left. Rotated at every 5-7k. Good in snow but so so in wet pavement. Very smooth and quiet even now with such a thin thread left. But very disappointed with the wear.
I bought the Weatherpeak 2 years ago. They were great tires in messy weather. No complaints at all there. But they wore down very quickly. Like in 25-40k.
Bought Weatherpeaks instead of CC2 for our Crosstrek, no difference in MPG. They're quieter than the stock Falkens.
Snow traction isn't as good as dedicated winter tires but it's good enough for the winters around here.
If you need dedicated winter tires, best option is to buy a second set of rims and winter specific tires, Blizzaks are a personal fav of mine.
Great track tire. I have about 6 hours of track time on mine and have maybe one event left in them.
I use RE-71RS on my BMW M4 (3900 lbs) with Autocross since June and about 10 events so far and the outer shoulder blocks’ treads are about 50% worn. Took it to my first track day at NJMP Lighting and now outer shoulder are essentially slicks.
They are garbo. I got 30k out of my turanzas before I had to get new ones. I went with the Michilin Cross Climate 2. Totally worth it.
I have 4 track days on my RE71RS on my NB miata and still have a day or two of life left. Roughly ~10 hours
of driving the piss out of those tires.
