Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

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 have Michelin defender ltx m/s2’s on my truck and have been researching tires to put on next. I keep coming back to these. Seem to be best for noise/longevity/quality and have a ton of sipes that make them a good snow tire. I don’t see myself changing up.

I almost purchased those tires. I chose the Michelin CrossClimate2 instead. Mostly bc I was worried about highway mpg.

I'm buying into Michelin (MGDDY) now because the tire and rubber industry took a big hit this year. I don't see rubber or tires going anywhere tho so I think it could be a long term value pick

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

Set of staggered Bridgestone Blizzak tires, used for one season in Colorado (<5k miles), no longer need them. These came off a 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 with the 19 inch wheels. They worked great for us in Colorado.

I just put some Michelin Defender 2 on my car and they have been great in the dry, wet and snow.

I've been running them year-round on my 2009 S2000 since new - on Vancouver Island. Total no go in snow, didn't ever even consider of going on the highway, but backed out onto the driveway once when there was a couple inches of snow so I could move some stuff around in the garage. Only a slight incline, but it was not pretty getting back in. That said, we get lots of rain and they've worked well as long as there aren't serious puddles.

These tires are a death trap in snow. In a heavy wet snow the snow collects in the treads to create a flat, slick surface allowing the tire to slide before stopping. On a hill it's even worse. They work ok on wet surfaces.
