Tires BRIDGESTONE or NANKANG

BRIDGESTONE Tires

So I switch to higher profile vehicles. The absolute best is my Mazda CX-5 AWD which has sufficient ground clearance and I put on Steelies with Bridgstone Blizzak WS90s. During R1 or R2 snow conditions, I can drive around on icy roads without slipping and without the use of chains. While others are putting their chains on , I'm driving around them effortlessly and in full control.

Pros: effortlessly and in full control
Vehicle: Mazda

I have them. I used to have a Michelin PS4S, which lasted about 24k miles before my front tires basically have no treads left (1.5/32 I think). Difference is stark, in terms of noise in highway. NS-25 is just so much quieter and I realized I can hear my podcasts without raising the volume to where it used to be. In terms or ride quality, I can definitely feel that it is ever so slightly more firmer than the PS4S, but I didn't actually check what tire pressure my tire shop put them on as, so it's subjective I suppose. road feel and grip, albeit I did not push them too much, isn't that bad.

Pros: quieter ride, good grip
Cons: slightly more firmer
Mileage: 24000 km

I eventually chose Turanza EV tires, which cost $1433 installed at Discount Tires in Portland, OR.

The Turanzas did not get off to a good start with me because they were inefficient: I was getting about 310 Wh/m. I called D Tires to discuss them and their sales guy said to drive them for 1k miles to break them in and then re-consider whether I was happy with my purchase.

I followed this advice which turned out to be good advice. At 1K miles, the Wh/m has dropped to about 280 Wh/M. The noise level from the tires has all but disappeared. These guys are quiet. The quality of the ride is just what I like: firm but not harsh.

Pros: quiet, firm ride quality
Cons: initially inefficient
Mileage: 1000 km

In my limited experience with them i'd say that they are marginally better than Toyo's r888r over a single lap but require some tuning set up to not overheat.

Pros: marginally better than Toyo
Cons: require tuning, overheat

I'm not a fan of Blizzaks because I find they're no where near as good in the 2nd/3rd+ season as they wear.

Pros: major brands
Cons: worse after wear
