Tires OEM Audi or BRIDGESTONE

I love the RE-71RS on my car, and my only gripe is the lack of sizes.

They’re also great in the rain if you like hydroplaning on the freeway.

This has been my tire choice for auto cross and it’s done amazingly well. Good feedback, good grip, stiff enough even for camber limited cars.

My two complaints is its longevity is not great but it’s a sprinter style tire. It’s not meant for endurance. And honestly, my biggest gripe is the cost.

The Blizzak 6 is closer to the Blizzak LM001 series. Better wet and dry handling, for performance cars vs SUVs and trucks going in deep snow.

Lots of good info on here and from looking at the tire, I think they made a big improvement getting rid of the rib near the outside shoulder and moving all of them in board. My 71RS has shown wear on the outside edge and the outside edge of that outboard rib. This should help mitigate some of that and get a stronger contact patch in the corners.

Mine is a 2018 VA WRX base, I have Blizzaks, WS90 model and they're excellent in deep snow or ice.

I got 360k on an axle of Bridgestone Ecopia and 300K on the other axle.

Bridgestone has always worked for me. Usually go for 350k+.

The previous owner put RE-71s on it. That’s an amazing autocross and track tire but it is not great in the rain. I’ve never driven a Miata on REs in the rain but I have driven other cars on them and it was dicey to say the least, that car had ABS and traction control and I was still limited in the highway.

For whatever reason my Bridgestone tires always lasted half of their warranty if that, and generally sucked all around.

Just after 22,000 miles on the factory Bridgestones. My tires already needed to be replaced. 5/32 tread life left but I also had some inner tire wear going on.
