Rexwagon Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I read a review for them on a local forum from a guy running them on his wrx for winter. he said they are a great winter/all season tire. good traction. He said it doesnt perform in the summer as good as a more dedicated summer tire, but a decent all season. If ur looking for an all season, I personally have had good success with Kumho ASX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiftyTwoEighty Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Just bought them for my wife's XT. They are a great match for that car but I'd be more inclined to go with Continental DWS for All Season on a LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdhoggattjr Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 i found this review http://www.eurotuner.com/techarticles/eurp_0807_bridgestone_potenza_tire_test/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiedad51 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I have them on my Mini Cooper. They handle well but are LOUD as all hell at any kind of speed. They DWS sidewalls are a bit softer but any performance loss IMO is negated but the better ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GotTurboWut Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I have them on my lgt. Car handled fine in VA snow/winter. However, they are a little noisy...not loud as hell but you'll hear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk_wagon.GT Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 bridgestone potenza re960 are much better ... according to my ''guy'' at local firestone and many reviews on the web Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdhoggattjr Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 i just got g019's on my car. have less then 100 miles on them, but they seem to handle turns alot better then the yoko's that were on it (a82's) i guess theres a "break in" of 500 mi and they will grip even better after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stclark13 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 the new bridgestone re970a/s are a great option as well. Had them for over a month and am very impressed. Much better all around tire than my conti dws ever were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
