Owner reviews for tires

I'm running Neuspeed RSe16s 17x8.0 45mm with 235/45/17s on stock suspension - zero rub, plenty of clearance, wheels almost flush. One thing I found out with tire size and ride quality, the tires themselves matter as much as sizing. I initially put on Bridgestone RE980AS XLs and they were brittle and hard as a rock with the standard suspension. A switch to grand touring Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus XL made ALL the difference in ride, sacrificing a few tenths of speed on freeway onramps and a bit of capability in the wet. It was worth it.

So I’ve had the ATR Sport 2’s on my car for 8000 miles. For people saying that you won’t get good tread wear out of them; they’re plain wrong. My only complaint is the tire noise but considering the price I won’t complain it’s not that bad with music on.

I have them on my 2017 Mazda 6. I have no issues with the tires. At 70mph there is very little road noise. They feel a little softer then the Dunlops. They kind of remind me of the Cooper CS5 I had on my old Mazda 6.

For what it's worth , I run the 245x40x18 BFGoodrich g-force on my GTI. They fit fine on the stock wheel, they don't rub, speedo is off by like 2mph.

I have a focus St with Michelin pilot super sports. While the compound sucks when it hits freezing temps, I've had no issues getting around, unless it's super icy.

2 seasons before moving to NC, I purchases some expensive [Blizzaks](https://www.bridgestonetire.com/tire-brand/blizzak) that had not been swapped out for summer tires before the car was shipped here (shipped in March). Once we were settled in Durham, I took the car to a local place to get my inspection for plates and all the old guys at Ingold Tire were like "what are these?". They had never seen "snow tires" and they SELL tires.

Mine is so great in the city, can whip a U-turn anywhere and gets 30-35 MPG no matter how you drive it. I am kind of sad you can't get cars like this anymore, but it is kind of hard to justify when something that's an order of magnitude more refined is only like $1500 more. But there is something fun about ripping around in something 153" long that only weighs 2300 lbs. It never needs brakes and doesn't eat up tires no matter how "spiritedly" I drive.

I have this wheelset on my Trek Emonda ALR 5. Running tubeless with Continental GP 5000 TL tires.

Although tubeless, I always carry a spare tube, a couple tire levers, CO2, and a patch kit w/ boot. Be prepared.

Sealant works really well on small punctures to point I’ve had a few that I didn’t even realize until after I got home and saw the small bit of sealant plugging up the hole. Only time I had an issue was when I ran over a bunch of broken glass: a small piece got wedged in front tire and prevented sealant from fully plugging the hole. Still, I was able to ride home safely with about 30psi remaining in the tire. Once I got back, I pulled the glass piece and sealant filled the gap. I did top off the sealant inside. No issues since.

I'm running Bridgestone re71r on my daily driver. Even with the low power and light weight I'm already down to 5/32 out of 8 after 4 months.

I was thinking about running 185/60-13's for a while. All that I could find where Federal 595 and Achilles 122 which are both ****ty tires.
