Tires Hankook or BRIDGESTONE

Bridgestone are really nice tires for the money. Looks like how your driving you’ll need them: the Michelin tires would burn up quick with their softer compound. Bfg might be the way to go! Last time I had a sporty car they were great!

I went for Hankook Synergy 4s. Good price vs performance and no issues on my Countryman.

Yes, I had the Hankook New Englander 205/55R16H for about 4 years on my Mazda 5, and they had just over 60k miles on them. I liked them enough to buy the same thing again. I'm in Massachusetts and they feel great in all kinds of New England weather. I do a lot of driving to work including highway and city. They are grippy in rain, snow, sleet and every combination even at highway speeds. I did get a bulge in the sidewall and kept driving them the last 5-10k or so, even though I knew better. (Don't do this even though it never popped on me.) There was still a little wear left on them, but you have to replace a tire with a bulged sidewall, so I got all 4.

Bridgestone S23's every time. 

I have 3 bikes all currently with S22's, including a ZX4RR that I run at track days.

The tyres get warm in 2-3 corners and very rarely feel the need to be tentative because the tyres aren't "in the zone". Basically they are confidence inspiring.

Been riding on Bridgestone since they released the S20, the evolution has been really good.

it's a good tire. I used them exclusively from 2005\~2016.

J'ai jamais essayé Michelin mais j'ai acheté plusieurs fois des Bridgestone et j'ai jamais été déçu, que ce soit en longévité ou en tenue de route.

I love my Hankook Ions, my MYP had the Pirelli Pzeros as my original set.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is the road noise and how much quieter the drive is.

My Ion’s are about to be replaced at 40k km’s (25k miles), which is around what I’ve been getting on my Performance (with 18” wheels). New Zealand has rather coarse roads tho…

I moved to the Anchorage, AK area several months ago. In November, we received a couple of feet of snow. I drove fine in the snow with the stock Turanza tires the first day. But lots of compacting, melting, and refreezing made the roads slick as hell. The stock tires were slipping and sliding all over the ice.

I went from stock 19-20mpg highway, 16-17mpg around town to a 3.5"lift and 295/70r18 Bridgestone Revo AT3s and now I average about 12mpg city and 15-16mpg highway.
