Tires BRIDGESTONE or Cooper

I'm on my second set of those exact Coopers on my Mitsubishi Lancer sportback. They've been great. I got 50k miles out of the first set with no issues.

Absolute best grip in that size will be the Bridgestone Potenza RE71-R. That would be the 'autocross special' tire. It's a 200 treadwear rated tire, so it's legal in the SCCA Street classes, but it's very soft and extremely grippy.

Been using 225/45R-17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS80's...they have been great last 2 winters.

I have a set of 265/30/R18 Bridgestone RE71Rs I autocross them and daily drove them for a while. But pricey but worth it for performance. I've heard people refer to these as one step down from slicks

i have SST pro. best bang for the buck.

Go with the Cooper STT Pros. I had them on my Liberty in 32s and now on my XJ in 37s. Awesome tire, I daily drive my XJ so wet street traction was a big thing for me. I've had no issues in the snow, wet, dry, mud, sand, rocks. They are also a very quiet tire. They'll last a while too.

I agree, very quiet compared to my Bridgestone Ecopia 422 plus H, better traction wet and dry...better handling too. Expansion joint crossings are quieter than my Bridgestones as well.

Cooper Discoverer AT3 4s 235/65/17 I tried the same tire in 235/70/17 but they rubbed the spring perch up front. America\u2019s Tire has great Black Friday deals and they price matched any online store as well. The tire technicians were great with doing the test fitting as well.

I do have a backup set of Bridgestone Turanza (205/55R16) all seasons but I am in the market for new tires now.

Skip the Bridgestone Ecopias. Life span on a LEAF is 20-30k miles. Terrible grip too.
