Tires BRIDGESTONE or NANKANG

It isn't the car, it's the tire. I've been commuting in RWD LSs (first a 460, now a 500) for the last 13 years in Michigan with Bridgestone Blizzaks.

Generally, the best winter tires will be Bridgestone Blizzak.

I swapped them for Bridgestone Turanza and after 20,000 when I traded in, they were maybe a third worn.

But if you can afford them, real winter tires like Bridgestone Blizzaks are a huge upgrade. Not just in snow, but on dry cold days where even good All Seasons are losing a lot of traction.

My one experience with Bridgestone was excellent on a Ford Expedition. Got 65k out of them an excellent traction.

I have Bridgestone Potenza RE71R's on my Z and the grip is phenominal. Its a summer tire though and they can be slippery in low temps so take that into consideration

I've had Hakkas, X-Ice and Blizzaks.

Blizzaks seemed to degrade the worst of the bunch and performance fell off faster than the X-ice and hakkas.

The previous owner put RE-71s on it. That’s an amazing autocross and track tire but it is not great in the rain. I’ve never driven a Miata on REs in the rain but I have driven other cars on them and it was dicey to say the least, that car had ABS and traction control and I was still limited in the highway.

Mein aktuelles Auto hatte ab Werk GJR drauf, von Bridgestone, A005. Katastrophe nach dem ersten Jahr.

Do not get Bridgestone. Mine are down to 5/32 after 20k miles and multiple replacements for leaks with no screws or other foreign bodies
