I really like my Bridgestone Potenza G 009 tires. Great 50k mile warranty too.

to use year round? I LOVED my Continental Extreme contacts for year round includng snow.

yes year round....

My G 009s worked GREAT in the snow last season.

have better snow/wet traction and a negligeable amount less dry traction and cornering

Although the Bridgestones may last slightly longer.

Alphecca

I've had those for several years now...very happy. Just a bit loud, but otherwise a great value.

car that when we need a new set (both at the same time) both cars got them. Chicago winter most of the time. I will occasionally put the Blizzaks on if extreme weather. Since they are mount on wheels and air tools swapping wheels 10 minute deal.

Audi Junkie

I have a bunch of 205/55-16 (stock size) from my Acura that don't fit my current Honda Accord Coupe. PA rt80 Stroudsburg area.

They are in the classifieds.

Cheap too. Basicly, give-away priced. I'll take a shot at describing them.

2 Yokohama V4S, 8/32 $60 both

2 Michelin Pilot HX, 7/32 $50 both

4 Bridgestone EL-42 RFT, 2 are 8/32, 2 are more like 7/32nds w/ one lightly feathered (fine on teh rear until worn flat) $60 ALL FOUR.

2 Sumitomo Srixon, 5/32, $20 both if buying any others.

You could buy the 2 Yokohamas and then get 2 new ones for the front to match. Those tires are great....incredible w/ wear at 500. Almost like new, new ones have 10/32nds but the first bit of tread wears away fast.

You could also take the whole set of Turanza run-flats for $60 if you don't mind the one running a lil loud until it's worn flat...dirt cheap, oem BMW.

Take both the 2 Yokos and 4 Turanzas for $100! My snows just arrived and I need to make some room for them!


The guys at the Audi dealer save nice sets for me and I have these I can't use anymore. I bought the Yokos new. The Michelin came on my Acura new and are still on the oem rims and must be removed.
