Tires BRIDGESTONE or Triangle

Bridgestone winter tires are better quality than the Firestone Winter Force unless you're looking to have them studded.

Like the Bridgestone Turanza 6 is pretty damn good, it's probably the best summer touring tyre on the market right now. Comfort and low noise typical of a touring tyre, with performance approaching a UHP.

I mean one of the first things I did on my Golf R was.... better rubber and it really did transform the car.(FYI... highly recommend the newish Bridgestone Potenza Sports). I guess the other point is.. don't skimp on tires. Pay for what you get.

My Mazda3 OEM tires were BRIDGESTONE

TURANZA EL440, and they worked amazingly and lasted for a full 50k miles.

The Alenza is way better than the ecopia tires. Go with those.

I have Ecopia. Drive is comfortable and the tire lasted.

I have the HL alenza plus and they have been great

While I do notice the comfort and quietness of the Turanza Quiettrack in the week I've had them, so far, sometimes, it feels like I'm driving in mud, ie the car feels sluggish. The fuel efficiency has also decreased noticeably.

My BridgestonePotenza S001 has 12k miles with 6/32 of tread depth. Likely, they grip marginally better than new but I don't have high expectations from this tire anymore. Nevertheless, I did expect a transformation from wider summer tire, coming from horrendous BridgestoneECOPIA EP422 PLUS .

Here's the 18" Cadiz wheels that came off 2015 Golf R. Stock 16" Astana wheels are beyond hideous, they are also heavy (e.g. 21 lbs.). As soon as you mount any sticky tires, irrelevant of size, your range will decrease by ~10%. The sole purpose of low resistance Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus tires is to float due to super firm carcass. These tires are terrible in dry and scary in wet.
