Default yep i had my re040s swapped for p6000s. blowtenza is a sloppy moniker.

only the re040s of the bridgestone potenza line had any problems that i know of. my only beef with the p6000s was that they wore out like a ****. which was of course a good thing as i got new shoes (s03s) sooner. =) i'm most likely gonna try out the neros next, but tire wear is a concern given the p6000s short life. the s03s have really hung in there even tho they're a max perf tire. *shrugs*

Default "Tramlining"? I've experienced torque on steering wheel on rutted pavement, but that's not a fault

... of the tire if it is transmitted through. Stiff sidewall means more connection to the road. I'll take what little "tramlining" I've ever felt any day for the reliable and informative handling of these tires. Remember, stiff sidewall is your friend, especially if you go flat or low, I would think.

Default Never noticed any noise with S-03s. Maybe a better A6 tire than S4, but how much ligher is S4?

My curb weight is 4000 lb... then I get in! Add another 6%...
