D'ya think it's worth bypassing POS-tenzas altogether?
 
Got my HLSD 2K2 6 speed on order for January 15 - Feb 15 delivery... do you think it's worth just getting the dealer to take off the Bridgstones and apply the cost towards dealer ordered PILOT A/S ???

I suppose it would all depend on the price they quote me, but my question is, are the Bridgestones that bad that I wanna take a hit in $$ for them to get the PILOTS right off the bat?

I don't know the answers to your other questions, but I do know that the Potenzas blow monkey nuts.

I wouldn't try that on a public highway with traffic though. ;)

Yeah, they do work well for drifting. :D

I've spun my car out with them... it was fun :wall:

Hell Mother****ing YES!!!!

These are the crappiest tires I've ever driven. With all that torque you need something to keep you on the ground.

If you don't
 
you will wish you did when you pull out in front of someone and just spin endlessly.

true.... on a more dangerous note, I once was trying to make a left turn and it was raining. I was in the middle of the intersection and once I saw an opening I hit it. I spun the tires, got stuck in the middle with oncoming traffic while I kept spinning, but made it just in time... that was scary
