Tires BRIDGESTONE or Firestone

Firestone Tires

I've been pretty happy with the cost/benefit of Firestone Indyhawk/Indy500/whatever they're calling them these days, on the stock wheels. They don't last long (I get 10-15k miles out of a set) but they're damn cheap ($650-$750), and break traction quite easily and predictably, if you enjoy going a little sideways often. I usually am running the Flying Miata alignment specs with these tires break loose fantastically easily and enjoyable for me on that alignment. On a factory alignment though they are reasonably grippy for spirited street driving. Again though the biggest benefit of them is they are super widely available (because Firestone) and CHEAP.

Pros: good cost/benefit, predictable traction, widely available, cheap, reasonably grippy
Cons: don't last long
Vehicle: Mazda
Mileage: 16093 km

BRIDGESTONE Tires

My Outback in Australia came with factory fitted Bridgestone Dueller H/P Sports. Got 72K km (44.7K miles) out of the first set and although I could have probably kept them longer, a "buy 3 get 4th free" sale encouraged me to replace all 4 with the same tyres

Pros: long lifespan (72k km)
Mileage: 72000 km

BRIDGESTONE Tires

The previous owner put RE-71s on it. That’s an amazing autocross and track tire but it is not great in the rain. I’ve never driven a Miata on REs in the rain but I have driven other cars on them and it was dicey to say the least, that car had ABS and traction control and I was still limited in the highway.

Pros: amazing autocross, track tire
Cons: not great in rain, dicey in rain
Vehicle: Mazda

I suffered with Ecopia tires for 50,000 miles. Nothing but headaches. Tire wobble at high speeds never went away after numerous rebalances. Nails and screws were seemingly drawn to these tires like magnets, although they repaired well enough to drive around, my tire light was constantly informing me of more trouble.  Never buying Bridgestone tires again.

Pros: repaired well enough
Cons: tire wobble, headaches
Mileage: 50000 km
