Tires BRIDGESTONE or Sailun

Mine is a 2018 VA WRX base, I have Blizzaks, WS90 model and they're excellent in deep snow or ice.

I got 360k on an axle of Bridgestone Ecopia and 300K on the other axle.

Bridgestone has always worked for me. Usually go for 350k+.

The oem stock Bridgestone alenza tires that come with the prologue’s are garbage. I replaced the set on my 2024 touring prologue with a set of Pirelli scorpion as3 all weather tires. I got them from discount tire for around $800. So much better and smoother ride now.

I ran Duratracs on my truck for a few seasons and they did fine in the winter. Last season I got a set of Blizzaks for the winter and they're game changing! The Duratracs were good in the winter but the Blizzaks are insanely good! You can't beat a dedicated set of winter tires in my opinion!

I’ve run both KO2’s and Blizzaks for the winter on my truck and I travel to the mountains regularly. I fully recommend spending the extra money for a proper winter tire set. The KO2’s weren’t bad, but its night and day compared to the blizzaks

As for tires I would recommend 2024 stock for better brands like Bridgestone. Chinese tires will cause noise and easily a 10% drop in fuel economy. I've personally experienced this.

I ran m 42 psi on a recent track day and had some mild sidewall running.

My car came with Sailun atrezzo tires—two were new and two were older. I figured I’d just use them until they needed replacing. From the start, they were noisy, and over the course of a year, the noise only got worse. Eventually, they even developed cupping. I just switched to Continental DWS06+ tires, and the difference was night and day. The ride is so much quieter and smoother now.

Bridgestones are meh and overpriced. Ecopias are just meh.
