Tires BRIDGESTONE or SUMITOMO

Mine came with Hankook which didn't even last a tank of gas before I put new rims/tires on which made a HUGE difference. Ended up going with Bridgestone Sports which compete with the Michelin PS4S. Never have looked back. Great tire and really transformed the handling of the car.

Mine came w the Bridgestones - Potenza S0005 - they are excellent. Grip is so good that w UHP all seasons on the difference in grip is really noticeable - this car has such high limits/power that the difference is significant. Yes, the Bridgestones are noisy, especially on the highway.

I used to have BT-023s, unlike many here I thought they were fine (and better than the BT-021s I had before). But yeah, *looooong* warm-up time...

I have BT023s on my old Triumph, on my second set now and my choice is extremely limited due to the rare tyre size it has! Never had any problems with them, rode through last winter on them and they were 100%.

One word from a senior Minnesotian

Bridgestone (Blizzacks) premium Winter Tire Possibly around the same price but superior in every way.

I don't understand what the noise complaints are about, honestly. I didn't notice anything different from my stock turanzas.

They're the best tires i've ever owned.

I’d go with Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultras. They are solid in all types of weather, quiet, and absorb bumps in the road very well. I have them on my cx9 and plan to put them on my wife’s cx50 when the time comes. I’ve been very impressed by them.

For $70 I can buy Japanese made Sumitomos which have perfectly adequate grip in most conditions and long life, but they are quite loud due to the aggressive tread.

Have had my CX-30 through one Minnesota winter thus far on the stock Turanzas. Got through fine, but the car was also only about 4-5 months old at that time. I have already noticed some issues going into my second winter, one semi snowy day where nothing accumulated and I was sliding through roundabouts and was a little nervous about going around bends in the road.

The ecopias are garbage.
