Tires BRIDGESTONE or Maxxis

I just replaced my stock Dunlop with Bridgestone Turanza 6 three days ago and they felt great.

For winter tires I'm using Bridgestone Blizzak WS90.

I have Bridgestone Blizzaks.

I got myself bridgestone blizzak lm005 winter tired, so far no complains.

Went with Bridgestone RE-71RS set. Paid $950 USD for set of four from Tire Rack in October and paid to have them heat cycled by them.

So far: 1198 street miles, 4 days of Autocross with 46 runs on them.

I tried a set of potenza 200tw and it’s been nothing but amazing

I paid $220 for a set of 4 Bridgestone tires that were like 2 years old on my Camry.

I don’t have enough experience on Spesh tires other than the Sworks Fasttrack/Renegade I bought last year on a similar sale. They weigh in at around 620g each in the 2.35 size, which is much lighter than my Rekon Race 2.4WT at 780g. Feels nice to lose that much rotational weight and the grip I found to be similar. Also similar efficiency. What I didn’t like was the flimsy sidewall. There’s a reason they are so light. Lots of tire squirm and feeling of folding over in turns unless I ran high PSI (+5PSI compared to the Rekon Race). This is on a 30mm IW rim. Also, I had to use my tire plug for the first time on the front tire (Fasttrack). I’ve gone back to a slow XC setup of Rekon/Rekon Race this year but with a race or two coming up I’m debating what to do. I’m intrigued by the Aspen/Rekon Race combo but Aspen’s weigh about the same as my Rekon Race.

I moved to the Anchorage, AK area several months ago. In November, we received a couple of feet of snow. I drove fine in the snow with the stock Turanza tires the first day. But lots of compacting, melting, and refreezing made the roads slick as hell. The stock tires were slipping and sliding all over the ice.

I went from stock 19-20mpg highway, 16-17mpg around town to a 3.5"lift and 295/70r18 Bridgestone Revo AT3s and now I average about 12mpg city and 15-16mpg highway.
