What bridgestones have you run? I've been happy with them.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

LOTS of different potenzas between my cars and my familes and friends, I can't remember the exact codes but just about all of them start with RE.

I also used to work at discount tire for a little over 2 years and dealt with them ALL the time. Only time people purchased them was on leased cars because they had to.

They suck in the rain, get crap dry traction, and wear WAY too fast. No joke, my ex girlfriend went through her potenzas in 6000 miles in a brand new 4 cylinder eclipse that couldn't even do a burnout in the rain.

What non-bridgestone tires have you used as reference? They really are just an OE tire, almost nobody uses them if they have a choice. I guess they hope that the people will just come back to the dealership for tires

For example: There is almost no bridgestone that can outdo a kumho ecsta ASX on a car like yours. My mom had them on her camaro SS after getting rid of some POS bridgestones. NIGHT and day difference and the ASX isn't even an expensive or special tire in any way.

Thanks for the info, Conrad.

The ASX is an all season tire.

I have nothing but good experiance but my car's alignment is perfect and maybe that plays a factor. I don't know but I do get a lot of mileage out of mine.

Bridgestone too thin. All about the goodyears! Although I want to try some falkens

When I saw "R" in the name, I figured it was a track tire and got excited. You know, like the Nitto NT-01. But according to Bridgestone, the "R" signifies "Revolutionary". WTF?
