Default Bridgestone Potenzas

I am looking to replace my worn Goodyear Wrangler F1s and I got a good price on Bridgestone Potenzas GIII 225 55 R17 V

Does anybody know if these are any good on an Allroad? I do close to no off roading, but I would like to think my tires would not dissintegrate in the event.

Any info welcome!

I use Michelin Pilot Sport a/s plus.I had Goodyear F1's.They got too noisy for me and didn't last as long as the Michelin.The only other tire I would consider is the Continental DWS

How about the Pirelli Allroad oem tires (225 55 R17 97W)

It is really difficult to source good tires in my neck of the woods (Argentina)!

All tire should be the same size.It's even reccomended to replace all at the same time.Here is the difference.

Those Pirelli allroads are a pretty good tire for the money.

Not as good as a Michelin IMO, but also not as expensive either. I had 2 sets of Contis on the car previously and did not like them once they started to wear a bit. Also had one set of the P-allroads and they were good but wore out kinda fast.
