Tires Pirelli or BRIDGESTONE

For example, Maxxis MA-Z1's cost me $135ea and last about 30,000kms, but the Bridgestone Adrenalin RE001's on my car at the moment can get about 60-80,000kms, but cost $185ea.

I had the WS-50 on my Miata (came with it) and they were fanfukintastic in snow and ice but lasted about 20,000 miles total before turning into slippy dangerous banana peels while still showing 6/32 remaining.

Last winter I made the switch from studded Pirelli Winter Carvings to studless Bridgestone Blizzak WS60s... I was extremely impressed with them. Worked great in the white stuff.

I have the potenza pole position tires on my jetta and I will be getting a new set of the potenza tires come spring they handle wear and ride great for my jetta.

I loved the 960's I had on my mkV GTI. I thought they were a great replacement for the RE050's that came stock on the car. I thought the grip on the dry was very similar between the two, but the 960's were better when the weather got bad--as well as lasting longer.

FWIW, my WRX came with a set of the Bridgestones when I bought it. I had zero problems running year-round, and we get some snow here.

I've experienced the Bridgestones on my Volvo for nearly two years, and am fairly impressed with their performance... for an all-season. Dry grip is great and treadwear is respectable.

I have the Pirelli P-Zero Nero 225/40HR18 on Detroit wheels. They were pleasantly quiet until a few thousand KM then I started to notice a tire noise. No bumps hit and it's all 4 corners.

I switched from the 3D to the Revo1 last year and I regret the purchase... The Revo1 is a better tire from a snow perspective but in all other aspects it's terrible! On dry roads the Revo1s wander and track all over the place, are extremely loud, are very slow on initial turn-in, and wear very quickly! In rainy and slushy conditions they are downright scary!!!

I had a set of RE050A Pole Position, they wore out in about 10k miles. All highway miles!
