Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFT


I'm in the market for new tires, and researching what to buy. I think I've narrowed it down to either the Michelin PS2 ZP or the above mentioned Bridgestones. Has anybody used these on their C-5, and if you did, did you like them?


TIA!



And for those tempted to tell me all about how their non run-flats ride/handle SO much better, no thanks! I will not take the risk of a flat tire somewhere out in the boonies.....

I think you would be better served with the Potenza RE050 RFT than the Potenza RE960 RFT as your last set of tires 'aged' out before they wore out

Thanks, Luke, but I was under the impression the RE050s were being discontinued.......Am I incorrect?

Bridgestone hasn't said anything to that effect

I did a quick search on the Bridgestone website, and while they show the tire in the 245/45/17 size, they don't show the 275/40/18, for the rear....

Sorry, Luke......on Bridgestone's website it's confusing, as they show the front tires as one style of RE050, and rear tire sizes under a different RE050 MOE II.

from this point forward only look at Tire Rack dot com

I had the RE050 on my 350z Grand Touring and my son has them on his 2012 IS-F. They perform well but wear quickly.
