New Tire Question

This may get moved to another thread but here goes.

I have narrowed the choice of replacement tires down to 3 possible

1. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
2. Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position
3. Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season

Anyone using these?

I am replacing the original 18 inch Goodyear RSA's which were average in my opinion. Especially in rain.

Thanks in advance.

They are probably good tires but I have to consider the occasional snow. They don't rate well there. I wish I lived in Florida !!!

I know that the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S is a decent snow tire. The Eagle F1 & Potenza look OK too.

Toyo Proxes 4 > all of those, and cost less. They are outstandin in the rain as well. With mine worn around 50% I've been driving around in the torrential downpours here for the last week and still no hydroplaning or traction problems.

There is a big-*** poll sticky about tire popularity. Use it.

by the way, the word "Potenza" means "SUCKS" in Italian. True story.

How about considering some pirelli's Ive had them on my car, for both dedicated winter tires and for the summer I use all seasons and so far I have to say I cant complain.
