Tires Pirelli or BRIDGESTONE

Those Pirellis consistently test among the best UHP tires money can buy. Expect around 30% longer tread life than the Firestones, however, even the latter should last at least 50k km.

Absolute best grip in that size will be the Bridgestone Potenza RE71-R. That would be the 'autocross special' tire. It's a 200 treadwear rated tire, so it's legal in the SCCA Street classes, but it's very soft and extremely grippy.

I live in Worcester and work in Boston, I get no days off (state nursing supervisor)... I\u2019ve been running Sottozero 3\u2019s since I bought the car and they haven\u2019t dusappointed me. I\u2019ve even hit a couple unavoidable bridge expansion joint craters on 9/128/pike and they\u2019ve held up. I guess I\u2019ve been lucky! Worcester is notorious for hills, lots of snow, and poor plowing by the DPW and I feel as confident as I did running Hakkas on my prior TDI Golf.

Been using 225/45R-17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS80's...they have been great last 2 winters.

The PA4's shine on dry cold roads, i had their Pirelli equivalent (Sottozero 3s) and while not amazing in deep snow or standing up to potholes, when its clear cold roads they had grip for days.

I'm running a set of Pirelli ice zero FR. They're a good all around tire for the cost. Dry performance is good and they ride quiet much like the Michelin X-ice.

I have a set of 265/30/R18 Bridgestone RE71Rs I autocross them and daily drove them for a while. But pricey but worth it for performance. I've heard people refer to these as one step down from slicks

I don't know what everyone else is doing but I'm coming up on 25K on my 2014 with 255/19 p-zeros. The fronts are 70%... not even close to giving up. The rears... well, they're about 30% but that's not the fault of the tires.

Yep they are an outdated tire. I hated them on my 2012 Mustang GT.

I have these tires and despise them. Noisiest new tire I've had in at least a decade.
