The Bridgestone RE-71 tire performs very well in dry conditions, however, not quite as well in the wet. They came as original Equipment on my Mazda MX-6LS. After 15,000 easy miles, they are just about shot, probably due to the very soft tread compound. I wouldn't recommend driving with these tires in the snow! Traction is almost non-existant! Another annoying problem with these tires: they pick up every rock, pebble and piece of debris in the road, and fling them off into the wheel-well, making very annoying sounds when driving through parking lots or gravel roads etc........My next tires will be Eagle GT+4's for their harder tread compound, superior all-weather traction, and longer life.
