Tires BRIDGESTONE or Kumho

the blizzak, i love mine.

Three Bridgestone Potenza RE750 tires, size 205/40/17 W80 About 1000 mi on them and a very sticky performance tire.

I am currenlty running 235/40/18 tires on 8.5 wide rims all around. I don't know if it's just me but the car feel a lot smoother now

The H rated 18" bridgestone dueler H/Ls seem to perform about 90% as well as the V rated OEM Contis that I replaced them with. IMO I gave up 10% of the sticky feel of the Contis for the awesome tread wear of the bridgestones...

I had the same problem with my Bridgestone Potenza RE050's. I contacted Bridgestone directly and they told me that they would warrranty my tires at a pro-rated cost. My tires had 20K on them and they met me halfway. I ended up with a brand new set of Bridgestone Potenza RE960A/S Pole Position's with UNI-T for $400 installed (Usually $800). I've had the tires for about 6 months and they are pretty quiet compared to the RE050's.

The MZ-01s have served me very well in every aspect (never have been stuck, and I'm in a notoriously awful snow car) but dry driving, where they are incredibly squirmy (and now, with worn tread, dangerous in the wet).

I had them in 245 40 17 on my GTI. I thought they were great! A little loud, but they are cheap tires so I didnt care. I used them as track tires and they wear like iron, and grip very well once hot.

I replaced the awful Goodyear Wranglers that came on my egg with Bridgestone H/L Alenzas @ about 800 miles. Although I've now done only about another 1K miles on the Bridgestones, I'm 100% pleased with the switch. They are HUGELY quieter and ride marginally better. Their wear rating is about 40% better than the Goodyears, and they are rated very highly by customers on the Tire Rack web site. In addition, you gain c. 200#/tire load capacity. I'd not hesitate to do the same thing again.

I wasn't thrilled to see the OEM tire choice is yet again the marginal Bridgestone RE92, but they seem to do the job without being noisy. I have a feeling a set of dry-pavement UHP tires (RE730, S-03, etc) would make a good thing even better.

Bridgestone Potenza G009 195/50/15 (horrible crap tires)
