Tires BRIDGESTONE or SUMITOMO

I ran sumitomo htr z5 for a few years and liked them a lot (summer/perf). Currently on vredestein quattrac pro which is more of an all season sport touring, and meh, I like them and they're great at what they are but I miss having performance tires in the summer.

im still running a set of Potenza Re002. Theyve been discontinued from Bridgestone, but theyre still around as Firestone Firehawk Indy500. I love them.

RE71RS are what all the winning cars use in the series I run in.

Recently paid approx. $1,000 for Bridgestone DriveGuard all-season run flats on our 2015 AWD XLE, including mounting and balancing.

From a consumer preference side, they are probably the only brand that has the same level of reputation as Michelin. Also, they are consistently the top performing tire supplier in the ultra competitive Super GT, often ahead of Michelin teams.

You can never go wrong with a bridgestone from my experience. Apollo and goodyear are also great.

I had Bridgestone Weatherpeaks on my Ascent. I also live in the Seattle area and I liked them a lot. Great grip in both wet and snow, no noticeable noise increase vs the stock Falken Ziex tires.

I got weatherpeak 2.5 years ago, and about 31k on them now. Now the thread is about 3/32nd left. Rotated at every 5-7k. Good in snow but so so in wet pavement. Very smooth and quiet even now with such a thin thread left. But very disappointed with the wear.

The Alenza Sport tires on my 2022 Id4 RWD are falling apart after only 9K miles. The 2 front tires are peeling, same as Mrdingdong23 said in the initial post.

I gave up and replaced them all at 12K miles after the second blowout. Plus they ride and handle so much better than those shitty Turanzas.
