Tires Toyo or BRIDGESTONE

I bought a set of alloys and Bridgestone blizzaks for £250 and drove round my neighbour who was stuck with his Audi A1 Quattro.

I’ve been running Toyo Extensa hp2 on my Q 50 with 450 hp for about 3 years now and I’ve gone through two sets. They’re fucking incredible. I love them they grip they rip and they look good, great with the snow where I live and the wet and perfect for carving up on dry afternoons on back roads.

I drive my 240 daily to my job at a ski resort in the Rockies. I've had a number of different snow tires and really like my current Toyo Observe G-3's with studs. 2x 80lb sandbags in the trunk and it's a great performer, very predictable. The Toyo's are quiet as well.

I’ve got a set of Bridgestone Turanza (215/45/17) what a fabulous tyre. I do 300km a week in all weathers and I’m really impressed with the feel especially in the wet. I’ve done 40,000km so far and they’re wearing really well.

I still have the stock wheels and the original Bridgestone Potenza tires. Not being a track junkie, the Bridgestones have served me well and, when they need replaced, I'll probably get them again just because they must have a sturdy, strong sidewall that helps protect the wheel.

I've been using Bridgestone TURANZA 6 ALL SEASON since they came out, they are heads and shoulders above CrossClimates in every area other than snow, they are also considerably cheaper not being Michelins.

I've been really happy with the Potenza RE980AS+ on my 2002 New Beetle Sport. The Tire Rack performance numbers are very good across the board.

I recently replaced my worn out stock tires (the OEM low rolling resistant EV friendly ones) on my ‘22 Bolt EV 2LT with Bridgestone Weatherpeak 215/50R17’s mainly due to a sale at Costco Tires. I wanted the snowpeak rating as winter is upon us. However, my efficiency dropped dramatically since, going from an average of 4.5 miles per KWh (even in the dead of winter averaging 30 degrees F) to around 3.1 miles

TLDR; I had to replace my Bridgestone Weatherpeaks within 5 months and 7,000 miles with 2 tire rotations and balances in between. I opted to go with Michelin instead.

I've had my Mazda 3 turbo for 20k miles now and in that time, 2 of the Turanza tires had sidewall bubbles that compromised them. Not to mention, they are just noisy and feel like they have pretty lame grip. They are not confidence-inspiring at all and suck in the cold.
