Needs some tire feedback ASAP!

I need feedback on the Bridgestone Potenza RE950 and the Firestone Affinity LH30.

I needs tires ASAP and need to get something good and not to expensive.

I have the LH30's on the wife's '99 Altima. Very quiet, very good in the rain, above average in dry, and with about 20,000 miles on them, wear is barely noticeable. Plus with them being H rated and having a 70,000 mile treadwear warranty, don't thing I can lose. Granted 205/65/15's are usually fairly inexpensive, but for $72 each plus balancing and with all the above, I'm very pleased with them.

Deezo, you will like the RE950s. I have theom on my sawblades. I love them. Great dry or wet.

When I had my '99 SE I replaced the original Goodyear RSAs with the Potenza 950. They were terrific IMO and relatively inexpensive. Great grip in wet or dry, cornering was much better and ride was even better. The only downside I can think of is that they howl somewhat or make some noise between about 20mph-35mph. I would purchase them again.
