Tires OEM Mazda or BRIDGESTONE

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.

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.

Blizzak WS90. Hands down, best winter tire for cars.

But recently tried the Bridgestone Blizzak DM 2 very nice ride.

I love the WS80s on my SX4 though.

I have Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 (18”) on factory wheels on my 2024 Taos SE and only once, as I was approaching 50 mph, did I get that vibration. I got out, checked my wheels, and noticed some snow buildup between the wheel and the brakes (rear wheels, fronts were fine). I cleaned it out and the problem went away.

There was about 3-4 mm of tread left on the tires when I replaced the original Bridgestone S005s (with 7,000 miles including one track day). I had a track day coming up so I wanted fresh tires but might have got a little more life if I really pushed them. I remember reading reviews on Tire Rack's website about people getting similarly short life out of them (maybe the other alternative OEM tires fare better but they're all 240 TW). I replaced the Bridgestones with Michelin PS4S (300 TW), so it will be interesting to see how they do. To be honest, on previous cars, I've never got more than about 25,000 miles our of HP or UHP all-season tires with 500-600 TW ratings so the 7,000 - 8,000 miles for these didn't surprise me.

Probably would not recommend these tires after having them for a couple years on the S60 and about 15 months on our XC70... The XC70 just went in to the tire shop because we had some sidewall damage (accidental curb strike) with only about 11K miles on the tires. They measured tread depth and it seems they were about 70% gone.

My last set of Bridgestone Potenza tires lasted maybe 15k miles, but we’re totally bald on the inside by the 10k mark or less. Very dodgy in the rain to drive.
