Tires Pirelli or BRIDGESTONE

I swapped them for Bridgestone Turanza and after 20,000 when I traded in, they were maybe a third worn.

I just went with the Pirelli Weatheractive's cause I heard they were a little quieter and slightly more efficient. They seem to be great so far.

But if you can afford them, real winter tires like Bridgestone Blizzaks are a huge upgrade. Not just in snow, but on dry cold days where even good All Seasons are losing a lot of traction.

My one experience with Bridgestone was excellent on a Ford Expedition. Got 65k out of them an excellent traction.

I have Bridgestone Potenza RE71R's on my Z and the grip is phenominal. Its a summer tire though and they can be slippery in low temps so take that into consideration

Go with the 215 and save some money. You’ll have plenty of grip and be fine. I ran that size Blizzaks on my past WRXs.

I've had Hakkas, X-Ice and Blizzaks.

Blizzaks seemed to degrade the worst of the bunch and performance fell off faster than the X-ice and hakkas.

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.

Just before the weekend one of my summer tires punctured. Replaced all four wheels with winter tires, but a closer look at these *two year old tires* has me wondering: How come these Bridgestones are already so worn down?

I have had experiences with many tires models on CX-5, my shop basically agreed Scorpion has to be one of the worst tires to recommend to customer for all the reasons you mentioned. These tires has worse road feel than even Westlakes
