Bridgestone recently came out with a Potenza run flat tire for the Grand Sport. My 2010 GS vert's original Goodyears were down to the cord at 16,000 miles. I replaced them with Michelin run flats which lasted for 27,000 miles. I liked the Michelin far more than the Goodyears in every way. Last week I replaced the Michelins with the Bridgestone Potenza's, and the ride and performance is superior even to the Michelins. I had Potenza's on a previous Ferrari and loved them more than any tire ever, so hopefully they will give me the same satisfaction on the GS.

Awesome give us a review after 10k and the installed cost

Had Potenza's on my 08. Great tire. Over 10,000 miles on them before I got my CE. Still a lot Quieter and better ride than my new GY.

Awesome. How much?

Just put them on my '10 GS a few weeks ago and love them. No comparison to the GY'S. Only had ( 7 ) K on the GY'S but in the rain they were horrendous. Have not had them in the rain yet but the reviews on here were very good. Plus they look great. Paid $2K for them at Town Fair Tire.

My 2010 GS convert only has 7k miles but I am already thinking about what tire to get on the replacements. I have always liked Bridgestone so tell us how they are.
How did they compare in cost to the GY ?

I put the Bridgestones on my Grand Sport last year. I currently have 11,500 miles on the tires. The current tread depth is 7/32+. The tires have a tread depth new of 10/32. So I am getting good wear on these tires. They are a very good tire. Smooth. More quiet than the GY. I think the GY's have better traction though and better turn in. But I am completely satisfied with the Bridgestones.

Installed my Bridgestone RE050A runflats 15 months and 7500 miles ago. Very happy with them. Paid $1567 mounted, balanced incl taxes from my local Bridgestone dealer.

Are they "all-season" tires or "summer" tires?

Kept us posted.

Those Bridgestone runflat in GS sizes have been around quite a while as Joe stated. Glad to hear you like them as well. I will be switching to those when my second set of GY wear out. ( seconnd set was free btw)

I had the Potenza's on my C5, good to hear they have them in GS sizes now.

Good to hear GS owners have another choice.

According to Tire Rack they offer 3 different Bridgestone tires for the base C6 with one being A/S RF tire that looks like the GY GS2 tires

Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFT (Ultra High Performance All-Season

Tire Rack only shows one tire from Bridgestone for the GS/Z06 size.

These tires have been out for awhile for the Z06 which has the same size tires as the GS. I'm curious how good they are compared to a similar worn Michelin PS2 ZP or the Super Sport. It really is not fair to compare a brand new tire to a worn out one. I cannot stand Goodyears but most people are replacing GY worn tire with a new tire.

JoesC5

I only drive my Z06 in the summer, so your question is pointess. Bad weather = daily driver Mercedes with A/S tires.

I don't drive my DD at 162 MPH in the summer and I don't drive my Z06 162 MPH in the winter.

Going to the Bridgestones when my GY's give up the ghost. Best part besides the performance is the price.

JoesC5

Even if the Bridgestones had all the bad features of the Goodyears, just being able to drive an additional 50% in miles before needing replacement would justify the lower cost of the Bridgestones.

Goodyears = high cost and terrible tread life.
Bridgestones = low cost and good tread life.

But I'll still say it is not fair to compare a new tire to a worn one. Goodyears are way overpriced though.
