Potenza RE 050A

[Z06Aggie]

I was supposed to have a set of Firestone Firehawk SZ50 RFT put on my car, and they ended up putting the Potenza RFT on my car for the same price, telling me afterwards that they "upgraded" my tires b/c they didn't have the Firestone in stock. I have a bad gut feeling that I got screwed. What does the forum think?

well, let's see .... more road noise, less tire life, less wet traction .... and mismatched tread design .... I would make them get you the tires you wanted not what they had in stock


the front tire tread design


the rear tire tread design


and we sell the Bridgestone Potenza RE050 for $1104.00 a set and the Firestone SZ50 EP tires for $1286.00 a set .... so, you got the Bridgestones for the same price ??? not that great of a deal if you ask me
