Finally got some new rubber for my 06

The stock Eagle RSA's are pretty worn down...and are pretty much useless in the rain now. Ordered these last week, came in today . They're the new all-season Potenzas. 245-45-18's.









I'll have these mounted ASAP and give a review and such.

Nice, how many miles did you have on your RSA's btw?

I also just bought new tires(255/45/18 BFG KDWII, with new 18x8 rims) because of my RSA's wearing out even though the guy at wheel works told me that I have about 25-30% of tread left on them. The RSA's suck in the rain, I was slipping all over. btw, I have 40k miles on the RSAs.

i had 40,500 on the RSA's. so yeah, they weren't gripping much, if all, in the rain. had a few close calls.

boondoxmax, yeah i noticed how quiet they were on the freeway right away. only got 10 miles on them so far, but i'm liking it already.

Yes very quiet, and the sidewalls are nice and stiff.
