EviLette Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 Ordered them this morning, hopefully they will be here by Tuesday. >.> With everything else I'm doing on this car, might as well get a nice set of tires. Since I only have one set of wheels, I went with all season. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Potenza+G+009&vehicleSearch=false&partnum=26HR6G009&fromCompare1=yes&place=1 They look fairly aggressive, so they should work well in winter. Water channels for reduced hydroplaning (something I have a tendancy to look for in tires since I had bad luck with hydroplaning in the first few months I owned the car), plus... I think they've got an aggressive enough look on the sidewalls that they will look "right" on the car. Yeah, silly right? Plus, good price. I priced them here, 110/per was the cheapest I could find just for the tires. So, even with shipping, I figure I saved about 40 bucks. Thanks for the recommendations and advice guys. I damn well better like them. ...First set of brand new tires on the car since I've owned it. Probably the first set she's seen in a LONG time. Quote
CSI_MuNkY Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 good choice, I have heard good things about those tires. I was looking at those ones a couple years ago, however now that I have dedicated winter tires I want a strictly summer tire rather than an all season. And Just in case, I wanted to get the next highest speed rating (The G009 are H rated, 210km/h, I know my car can't do that now, but you never know what the future holds) Jamie Quote

I doubt I'll be able to roast off the tread on them in the time it takes me to kill THIS motor... so speed rating isn't a problem. My car won't really go above 80 anymore these days. Unless I'm on my way back from Texas. >.> Quote
Q-Ball Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 Same tires I got on my GP SE. They are really good. Snow, not so good. I got 245's instead though... Dont know why you got 225's? A bit cheaper? Quote

A bit cheaper? Stock size for my car. Refer to post about choosing new tires, there is a pic of the trunk deck sticker there. LOL. Quote
