well finally my Bridgestone Potenza are almost BALD!!!! so its time to replace them i wanna keep the same size but im kinda clueless on what brands are good. can i get your guys imput or experience with certain brands of tires. i want zr rated and better performance then these potenza. looking to spend bout 400 bux

 

Get you some Kuhmo's. They are really good tires for the price.

 

did you have the Potenza RE730s? They're so harsh and noisy, but after putting the tires to around 30 psi, I can really notice the diffference in ride quality. It's a lot softer without any real loss in handling.

anyway, i suggest you find a good V-rated all season tire, that's QUIET.

 

All season or summer? The Bridgestone Potenza RE950 is an excellent all-season z-rated tire. Wet traction is awesome.

 

That tire used to be over $100 each, but the price has fallen, so it meets the $400/set criteria. Tire does not have a AA traction rating which most new tires have unfortunately. Only H rated which really doesn't matter either with a Maz.

 

I will also suggest the Potenza RE950. I've been loving mine for 30000 miles now

 

It is indeed rated AA...

"215/55HR16 400 AA"

 

RE950 is Traction A, Temperature A.

SP Sport A2 is Traction AA, Temperature A.

AA is the highest rating, A is below it.

I just bought Kumhos and I like them a lot. they're pretty cheap too.

 

I third that. Great tires at a great price (if you don't need them for winter)
