Tires BRIDGESTONE or OEM Honda

They're great in snow/ice.

They can be squirmy on dry pavement.

I’ve been using blizzaks for almost as decade as my winter tires on my ND. My winter wheels are -1” and the tires are slightly larger in diameter than my summers (~1%). They grip and I feel confident when driving in the snow or rain in winter months.

I run the WS90 215/45-17 on my ND. Works great & not a run flat. Extra diameter is negligible.

I have Bridgestone Blizzaks , and although I could probably get similar performance from some all-seasons with aggressive tread, I’ll admit I understand the hype over winter tires now.

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 Bridgestone RE71RS is a 200tw performance tire. They will wear quickly - meaning you might get 10k miles out of them (give or take).

We put a set of these on our 05 XC70 last year. 11K miles later they are down to 4/32 - 5/32. The tread wear is indeed terrible on these.

my Turazas SUCK i got 18k (over almost 3 years) on 80k Turanzas!!!
