LOUD Potenzas.
I have a 2k2 SE (22k miles) with factory 17s and Potenzas...Just got the car like 3 months ago tops...Whenever I peel out I know any cop within 5 mile radius can hear it because my tires are so loud...My friend Devin (Accord V6) describes it as my tires "screaming bloody murder"...The screeching drag lasts all the way into like 25-35mph zone...This is rediculous, I mean how bad do these tires suck brand new?

Re: LOUD Potenzas.
Too bad the Potenza RE92 tires that many of you have are so bad. I have stock 16" wheels on my SE and those came with Toyo tires that were just as bad with squealing and spinning out when accelerating from a stop, cornering, or going through twisty roads.
Then I got some Potenza RE950 tires and what a difference those are! No more squealing, and they are good in the rain too. The best part was the price which was less than $100 per tire. It gets very good reviews on TireRack.com. Too bad they don't make them for the 17" OEM wheel size.

(I can't remember the model) These are the worst performing tires in the rain I have ever experienced with new tread. I have learned not to go faster than about 65 in decent rain and leave plenty of distance.

I have 1200 miles on my '03 and I'm already looking into new tires. I found nothing appealing on tirerack yet, it may require changing the rims or taking a chance on mounting a standard size on the non-standard size rims.
These protenzas are the most slippery tire I've driven on in 15 years. They're scary sometimes because they break loose so easy.

Simple solution, don't peel out! That is a rediculous complaint. "I hate my tires, they make mad noise when I peel out!" WTF? I thought this was gonna be about road noise, in which case I would agree that the Potenzas are loud. But peeling out? There's no reason to peel out unless you are trying to attract attention, in which case the noise is good, right?

I recently installed a set of 4-tires, Bridgestone Turanza LS-H to replace the OEM's Goodyear RS-A brand (215/55/16). Bought it at Costco for $106.99/each and minus a $60 discount coupons. My final cost was $429.49(inluding taxes) and also come with lifetime rotation and balance. The Goodyear tires, after only 20,800 miles, were loud and their tractions were pretty bad in wet/snow weather. Dry pavement was so so but the ride was rather rough. The Turanzas ride more quietly and smoothly. The traction was pretty good on today snow in my area. I notice better cornering from these tires. FYI: The Turanzas are rated 'AA' for traction and 'A' for temperature.
