800 miles on new tires... Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Tue, 6 Apr 2010 07:25:36 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS pole Position in 215/55-16 93W.
I am, so far, very satisfied with these tires. They are a high performance all-season tire, which suits my driving just fine.
For one, I can't recall a tire that is so quiet. Driving home with them on local streets after having them installed, with the windows all down, all I could hear was the motor and the wind.
They can be a bit harsher on some roads, but that's owing to the "W" speed rating, and the associated stiff sidewall. But that's not an issue, because once you start steering, the car points well, and there is no "squirreliness" from the tires that I had on the rather used up Michelins the car came with.
Getting them for $99 each from Tire Rack was a good deal as well.
Anyway, I highly recommend them. If your driving doesn't need a dedicated summer and/or winter tire, or you can't store a spare set, you could do a lot worse with all-season tires than these.
