Tires BRIDGESTONE or Laufenn

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.

This has been my tire choice for auto cross and it’s done amazingly well. Good feedback, good grip, stiff enough even for camber limited cars.

My two complaints is its longevity is not great but it’s a sprinter style tire. It’s not meant for endurance. And honestly, my biggest gripe is the cost.

The Blizzak 6 is closer to the Blizzak LM001 series. Better wet and dry handling, for performance cars vs SUVs and trucks going in deep snow.

Lots of good info on here and from looking at the tire, I think they made a big improvement getting rid of the rib near the outside shoulder and moving all of them in board. My 71RS has shown wear on the outside edge and the outside edge of that outboard rib. This should help mitigate some of that and get a stronger contact patch in the corners.

Laufenn ice fits are a great tire

The Bridgestones aren't terri-bad but I'll be happy when it comes time to swap them out for some DWS06+ instead.

Factory Bridgestone tires are about worn out.

Bridgestones are meh and overpriced. Ecopias are just meh.

These are absolute JUNK. 35k miles on a well maintained Lexus RX 450h with normal driving - they are toast. We were going to change them in July because they are to the wear bars - except one bubbled a sidewall and blew while sitting in the parking lot today.
