Tires NITTO or BRIDGESTONE

If you need dedicated winter tires, best option is to buy a second set of rims and winter specific tires, Blizzaks are a personal fav of mine.

Great track tire. I have about 6 hours of track time on mine and have maybe one event left in them.

I have 4 track days on my RE71RS on my NB miata and still have a day or two of life left. Roughly ~10 hours

of driving the piss out of those tires.

Bridgestone blizzat tires are amazing I live in Southern Michigan not that much snow but it gets icy they are great

I run Blizzaks on the factory wheels and summer tires on my Turbomacs. I've run just about every brand of snow tire you can imagine and I find the value to be where Blizzaks live. The roads are trash here in upstate NY for 8 months out of the year and I drive a LOT.

Whatever you decide on for rims, (I definitely recommend getting a winter set,) you should absolutely get the Blizzaks! They perform better than studded snow tires on snow and ice.

So I switch to higher profile vehicles. The absolute best is my Mazda CX-5 AWD which has sufficient ground clearance and I put on Steelies with Bridgstone Blizzak WS90s. During R1 or R2 snow conditions, I can drive around on icy roads without slipping and without the use of chains. While others are putting their chains on , I'm driving around them effortlessly and in full control.

I ran RS11s against S22s, and the S22s were just as fast and lasted much longer.

My last set of Nittos were junk. I had to have them shaved 3 times to make them round again. They were so bad.

In case anyone stumbles upon this, my 35 inch load E ridge grapplers are AMAZING in everything **but** mud. Almost got hopelessly stuck the other day. My old cooper evolutions MTs would have easily dug me out. Im looking to get out of these asap, awful for winter overlanding. If you hit mud you're screwed in Ridge Grapps
