Tires Nexen or BRIDGESTONE

I have the potenza pole position tires on my jetta and I will be getting a new set of the potenza tires come spring they handle wear and ride great for my jetta.

I loved the 960's I had on my mkV GTI. I thought they were a great replacement for the RE050's that came stock on the car. I thought the grip on the dry was very similar between the two, but the 960's were better when the weather got bad--as well as lasting longer.

FWIW, my WRX came with a set of the Bridgestones when I bought it. I had zero problems running year-round, and we get some snow here.

I've experienced the Bridgestones on my Volvo for nearly two years, and am fairly impressed with their performance... for an all-season. Dry grip is great and treadwear is respectable.

Other than that I was happy with the tire. Ran it on a '97 Jetta (in NW PA).

i like the nexen 195 45s thats what i have on my car and there wear rating is awesome. and they grip nicely once you get them warmed up. ive seen the toyos wear out very quick.

Here's what a 245/40-17 Bridgestone RE11 looks like after 18mths on the R - over 200 autox runs and 8k street miles. I run 40-44 PSI hot on a well setup car. Note that there's minimal indication of excessive scrub or rollover. These tires are wearing great and were good enough for top pax time in a 60 car field at a recent local event

On our prescribed sighting-lap line, the Optima's chassis proved compliant while the standard high performance dampers (fundamental design shared with the Sorento's dual flow dampers) and suspension tuning found a good compromise between a relaxed ride and more aggressive roadholding. Off the driving line, the stock Nexen touring tires didn't enjoy steering corrections at speed, and predictably squealed in protest.

I have the N5000's on my Classix for my Summer wheels, They are OK, Feel better than the stock Contis on the steelies I use in the winter But not the best in the Wet, If its rainning, I can easily get them to spin.... When they wear, I probably won't buy them again . . . J

I had a set of RE050A Pole Position, they wore out in about 10k miles. All highway miles!
