Tires BRIDGESTONE or KENDA

Kenda happy medium is nice in 2.3. Fast rolling, not too heavy or expensive.

Love these tires. Run them on my WRX which is significantly heavier, and am between 28 and 30 PSI depending on ambient temp. They are very progressive with their grip, at the upper limits of grip, it is progressive in how much it slips, not just all or nothing. Have fun with them!

I’ve had the Bridgestone Ecopias on my previous car 2010 Mazda 3 GT and now my 2019 Jetta. I have found better mileage on these tires than with others. Not great in heavy snow so I put snows on for the winter.

Changed over to winter tires (Blizzak) around Thanksgiving and put about 10K miles on them over the winter. No issues, handles great.

So far I have had good luck with Bridgestone Blizzak W80 snows for my Subaru Legacy sedan. I have a set of 4 that currently have 34,000 Winter miles on them and they aren't worn enough to require replacement yet - I should get another Winter season out of them. So for longevity I find these tires have done well for me .

Speaking with my local shop after my tire rotation, they recommended the Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 18" for when winter comes.

Any thoughts on this one?

Blizzaks have been great

Almost 10 years in the tire game and my favorite tire is the Bridgestone Blizzak. Performs great in the deep snow, very well on ice and wears well and are affordable.

Had the Conti All Seasons last winter and was not real happy how they performed on ice/snow. Wife was slipping and sliding all over, especially in single digit temps. Took advantage of a Costco Bridgestone deal and got the Blizzak snow tires for about $700 after installation. Haven't had a chance to test them yet in the elements, but the ride is very quiet although a little more floaty/soft. Can't take the corners as fast as you would with the Conti's.

I have had a few sets of blizzacks, and while they were great on slick roads, I found they were not good going through a few inches or more of snow and were terribly "mushy".
