Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear

Bridgestone Re71R for asphalt, BFG Rival 1.5 for concrete

Currently running Bridgestone RE760 Sports. Classified as "Ultra High Performance" I have found them to be a great summer tire on a DD.

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 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.

Get some Blizzak's from Costco while they are on sale. They have been a huge upgrade on my Mazda.

I've been running Blizzaks for a few years now. Love them.

I bought my MT10 with 3200 miles on the clock, it now has 5800 and is in need of a new rear tyre. Really only due to the centre wearing out, it's down to about 2mm.

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