I just got my new tires mounted, and they rock! They are the brand new Bridgestone Potenza RE950. I moved up one width from the stock 205/65-15 to 215/60-15, on stock rims. These are the widest 215's I've ever seen. The tread is directional and looks like the tread from the S-02.



Anyway, these things grip like you wouldnt believe. I thought the RE930's that I used to have stuck good, but the 950's blow them away.

I would recommend these for anyone who wants a performance tire for the stock 15" rims. I got them for $79 each from The Tire Rack...

Nice... I've been looking at those, but will probably go RE730's or S-03PP's in the future when I have money.

Brian, SO3PP will last you 7 to 8 K miles if you drive hard like me. Thats with proper alignment and rotation. imo just not worth the $$$.

I'm using sp9000 now and they're fairy sticky w/ much longer wear. sp8000 is good too.

Try AVS yoko if you want super sticky. They'll last a atd longer that PP's.
