Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE

Go for the Continentals.  I’ve done the research for you, and lived it.  These tires will take anything perfectly unless you decide to hit your breaks going down hill….gravity was the only thing I found wrong, but what would any other tire do.  I’ve had these tires for 4 + years.  I swapped them the first 2 years, and ran them straight the last two years, and there’s still .8 tread left from the original . 10.  I’m actually trying to wreck these tires so I can buy a new set, but they’re hanging on.  My next set will be these tires.  I even passed up those famous Finish tire brands nobody can pronounce for these, and glad l did.

I have Bridgestone Blizzaks.

I got myself bridgestone blizzak lm005 winter tired, so far no complains.

I switched to Continentials 2 yrs ago and haven't had a single flat since.

Went with Bridgestone RE-71RS set. Paid $950 USD for set of four from Tire Rack in October and paid to have them heat cycled by them.

So far: 1198 street miles, 4 days of Autocross with 46 runs on them.

I tried a set of potenza 200tw and it’s been nothing but amazing

I paid $220 for a set of 4 Bridgestone tires that were like 2 years old on my Camry.

I switched my run flats with Continental TrueContact Tour54 and the experience is night and day. Such a smooth and quite drive. The whole car genuinely feels much lighter.

Now my experience with the ECS02s vs my typical 200tw Yoko AD09s is they do not have the same ability to grip and I have to brake earlier and carry less speed into the apexes or they slip/push a bit.

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.
