Tires BRIDGESTONE or Hifly

Used to drive those on my NA and passed stranded vehicles daily in the same weather

They're great in snow/ice.

They can be squirmy on dry pavement.

I’ve been using blizzaks for almost as decade as my winter tires on my ND. My winter wheels are -1” and the tires are slightly larger in diameter than my summers (~1%). They grip and I feel confident when driving in the snow or rain in winter months.

I run the WS90 215/45-17 on my ND. Works great & not a run flat. Extra diameter is negligible.

I have Bridgestone Blizzaks , and although I could probably get similar performance from some all-seasons with aggressive tread, I’ll admit I understand the hype over winter tires now.

Looking forward to the TireRack closeout sale on the RSs.

Also wonder if these will be as stiff as the Sport Rs since it mentioned these are stiffer than the RSs

I love the RE-71RS on my car, and my only gripe is the lack of sizes.

They’re also great in the rain if you like hydroplaning on the freeway.

The Bridgestone RE71RS is a 200tw performance tire. They will wear quickly - meaning you might get 10k miles out of them (give or take).

For reference, crappy and expensive Bridgestone Alenzas (summer tires) were put on mine (21 inch)

I must say that they are fine in dry weather, but in the wet… Absolutely dangerous! They have no gripe at all.
