Xenonk Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Appearently these tires should have been the standard tire for all Subarus and replace those crappy RE92s.. Pretty good ratings and the price are fairly the same as the RE92s. Check them out at [url]www.tirerack.com[/url] [IMG]http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/bridgestone/bs_potenza_g009_ci2_l.jpg[/IMG] Ratings for the Potenza G009 - Rating of 1 (worst) to 10 (best): Dry Traction = 8.6 Wet Traction = 8.6 Hydro Resistance = 8.7 Snow Traction = 8 Cornering Stability = 7.8 Steering Response = 8 Ride Comfort = 8.6 Noise Comfort = 8.3 Tread Wear = 8.8 Tire size = 225/45/17 Treadwear Rating = 460 Price = $115 each And just for comparison...

IwannaSportSedan Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Decent ratings. Good stuff. If I were looking for all season performance tires, I would seriously consider them. Since the miata has seasonal tire changes, I think the spring will bring new RE750s for it, without worry to winter driving, since snows take care of that. I just couldn't help notice that the tread pattern looks quite like the new Dueler AT revos on my truck!

Trent Bates Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 We replaced the 16" RE-92s with these on my Wife's '03 Legacy back in August. They seem like nice tires. They were a little cheaper as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melayout Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I'm thinking of going with either the G009 or the RE950 off tirerack? I'm leaning towards the former. What do you think? I currently have Toyo Proxes 4 but they wore out too quickly, so one of my requirements is a tire that comes with a treadlife warranty, which both Potenzas come with and they're still reasonably priced. I'm willing to sacrifice grip to get more treadlife. I keed I keeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melayout Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 The Conti don't have a treadlife warranty. Do you think they'll last 30-40K miles. I keed I keeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camber Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I guess you guy's missed my ealier thread on my 2001 LGT tire choice. I was trying to decide between the Potenza G0009 and Michelin Pilot Exaltos A/S. I'm leaning towards the Michelin tires they just got introduced and have a higher rating on tirerack then the G009. However, I don't know anyone with any personal experience with these tires. Exaltos are A/S based off the summer PE2 Pilots and look great. However, are a bit more expensive then the G009. Meh... anyone got any opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
