Killed one of my Potenzas last night...

I was going about 70 or so around a curve last night and hit a pot hole. This morning I take a look at it, and sure enough, I had a bump on the sidewall of my tire. The tires still had good tread on them but were getting old anyways. I order a set of nitto 450 extremes from discount tire direct. Does anyone have these tires on their max?

Good Kill! Those Potenza's suck anyway, Nittos are much better.

Cool!!! If I were you, I would probably have aimed for the hole to have an excuse to get rid of the stockers!!

Nitto 450's are a big improvement over the stockers. Cutlr7 had them on his car

The nitto 450's still blow in water though. Ive got the Yoko AVS ES100 and they stick pretty damn good, wet or dry
