What do you think of these baby's

Got great reviews but then again, I know nothing about tires so I figured I'd ask for professional input. Yes, I only plan to use these in the summer.

That looks like what mine came stock with....

Is it really? Apparently they are the best summer tires on the whole site.

[Blackdevil77]

Just checked. Model on the tires that comes stock are RE 050A. This is the RE 01R. Not completely sure what the difference is though.

I like the Potenzas. I've got almost 10,000 miles on mine and 1 rotation so far and they have held up pretty well to all my abuses. Minimal road noise and good handling. I did notice last night that they don't like cold asphalt....The car would break loose on corners with TC on and not really gassing it hard. But Kumho all-seasons and stock wheels go on next weekend once the DR and rims get here anyways.

[Blackdevil77]

I can't find anything with a 9.6" width. Closest I can find it 9.5.

[GT-610]

wont fit,we all have 8" rims-that one is for 9-11

[Blackdevil77]

Damn! lol. So what radials would you guys recommend that would fit on the stock 18's? Is there such thing?

I just put the 255-45-18 Kuhmo asx on mine.

I knew the goodyear wan't going to get around very well this winter so I went with a little bigger tire also. It has a 420 wear rating which is very good compared to he goodyear rsa which if I remember only had about a 240 or 280 wear rating. These have a AA traction rating also and an A rating on heat, plus a very good looking tread design. I didn't buy mine at tirerack, I'm a Big O Tire Asst Manager so I got a good deal thru my dealership. If you live in bad weather area, snow, etc. I wouldn't use the Kuhmo spt, its too much of a summer driving tire.

For the money the Kumhos are pretty good unless you're really pushing the tires to their limits.

[locrzn#92]

Just got my 255 mounted and put a few miles on them. Pretty quite much more aggressive stance now then with my goodyear rsa's. Didn't really care much for them. These have a much better wear rating. Should be good to go now.
