OK, so apparently the Bridgestone Potenza's that my new '01 came with are far less than average. What tire would you recommend for high performance all-season? Thanks for the help.

 

Yup... Potenzas suck my a$$. If you've got some extra money, I say go for the Michelin Pilot Sports.

 

this gets asked so often I have it saved to notepad...

all in 235/45-17

Sumitomo HTR+
Yokohama AVS ES100
Sumitomo HTR Z II
Falken Ziex ZE512
Contiextremecontacts
Potenza RE950
Toyo Proxes ($668)

 

And the post above forgot the most impressive tire of them all..........................The Pirrelli P Zero Nero M/S I cant say enough about these tires just love them. Research them check out the reviews on Tire Rack .They put these tires through Test after test againest the top tires & they won every time.

 

I had a hard time finding the tires listed in 225/50/17 my stock tires were bald and no one had the other tires so I bought more potenza out of desperation. The seemed fine to me and Ive never had a problem with the stocks outside of the fact there very expenisve..Please inlighten me on the diffrence...

 

the stock potenza re 92's are complete garbage. falken ziex 512 are a much better option... and they are cheaper.

 

Ya, I noticed those on Tire Rack considering how high a rating they got and how much cheaper in perspective they were when compared to the others. How much better will the 235s look on the Max compared to the stock 225s?

 

Toyos proxies 4s......

 

235/45-17 with a drop? Cause wouldnt 45 series on stock springs look a little awkward?
