  1. 1) Tires reviewed/Price paid: Bridgestone Potenza 960 A/S Pole Position. I paid $623 mounted and balanced for 4 tires at the local Firestone shop. I probably could have done better, but the price paid is pretty fair, I think.

     

    2) Location: Northern Delaware

     

    3) Driving Events: No dedicated events, just spirited driving around town.

     

    4) City/Highway - About 50/50

     

    5) Previous Tires: Stock RE92's.

     

    6) The 960's are everything that I'd hoped that they would be, they're quiet, comfortable, and stick to the road like you wouldn't believe. I just had the opportunity to put ~1500 miles on these tires in rain, dry, and sleet and never felt as though I were about to lose traction. Driving around the city in the rain I -tried- to get these tires to slip, but just couldn't - they just want to stay stuck to the road. Not to be forgotten, braking is much improved. No more sliding when the road is wet, no more ABS in wet weather, no more of the problems I had with the RE92's.

     

    So, my initial impressions are positive, but my experience with tires suggests that we won't really know how well these tires perform until I've had the opportunity to put a lot of miles on them and run them through all four seasons. I'll try to remember to post another review in 12 months or so.

     

    Finally . . . The RE960's have their own thread here: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45754&highlight=960.
