Tires BRIDGESTONE or NANKANG

BRIDGESTONE Tires

I recommend the Bridgestone Blizzak. They are studless snow tires. Instead of medal studs, they embed a series of really firm rubber 'studs' into the softer rubber of the tire. They work just as well as metal studded tires, but don't chew up the road or make the annoying noise that the metal studs.

Pros: work just as well
Cons: annoying noise

I use Bridgestone Turanza T005s. They harden really fast if you don't take care of it, but they are very good for daily driving and last quite well if you take care of it.

Pros: good for daily driving, last well
Cons: harden fast

The stones have been a cheater tire for me in a sense that they communicate so well, they handle abuse of inputs, when they give up grip, they’re very gradual and you feel a slide coming. And when you do lose traction, the slide is controllable to get back into grip. There’s a reason they’re at the spear tip of auto cross.

Pros: good communication, handles abuse, gradual grip loss, controllable slide

I use RE-71RS on my BMW M4 (3900 lbs) with Autocross since June and about 10 events so far and the outer shoulder blocks’ treads are about 50% worn. Took it to my first track day at NJMP Lighting and now outer shoulder are essentially slicks.

Pros: good for autocross
Cons: outer shoulder wear
Vehicle: BMW M4

Just FYI, if you are looking for winter capability (snow/ice) the Weatherpeak sucks after 2 seasons of driving (\~ 30,000kms).

Cons: poor winter capability
Mileage: 30000 km

What I have observed is - when I go beyond 100 kmph, I sense vibrations from the tires. I did not face this while I was on my factory 19" tires (Goodyear tires). This was not a one-time thing, on different road conditions, different temperatures, I felt the same vibrations when the speed goes beyond 100-105 kmph. I think it is because of the tires, I can also sense the vibrations on my steering wheel.

Cons: vibrations at high speed
Mileage: 1900 km
