Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS tires?

[ess55]

Anyone running these? Lost a rear tire the other night (currently running Pilot Sports). Heard a lot of good things about the RE960AS. They are also significantly less expensive than the Pilot's. Not sure if I will just replace my rears or do a full change (tread life left currently ~25%).

Any feedback is apprecaiated.

Also, should I consider doing business with anyone other than Tire Rack? Looking for best deal and customer service.

Thanks!

Hey ess,
IMO, RE960AS is not as good as PS2 and I also belive that PS2 are overprice but I love them.

So far the TR has the best deal compare to other indy tire shop.

Take care & enjoy the ride,

Thanks Joe, but I ended up going with the RE960AS. Look to have them mounted tomorrow. Will let you know how they feel in a couple weeks time.....

I'd be interested to know your impressions, too. I'm ready for a new set to replace my worn Pilots and the 960AS are at the top of my list due to price and winter weather issues.

I put on a Set of Toyo Proxes TR-1's, PS2 is simply the best tire you can buy, but the Toyo's are worth looking into. They are quiet, smooth, good rain traction, good dry traction and best of all the come with a rubber bead... ie rim protector, but the best thing, the price is great.

So far, the Bridgestones are great....still breaking them in but am very satisfied. Very comparable feel to the Michelin Pilot's, but less $$$.
