Hi All,

I am looking for an All Season Sport tire for my ride

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S+
or
BS Potenza 960AS Pole Position BL

I am looking for input on these two tires if anyone is running them or recommend a different one with equal ratings at a better price

Thanks

Hi,

I have been running Potenza RE760 Sport for the last 27k miles and they have been quite good in the wet until about 5-8k miles ago. Of course they did not like snow one bit

thanks

I had the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position on a G35 and they were great, but the compound is pretty soft and I went through them pretty quick. I had the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S+ on an Acura RL and they were pretty good tires (didn't have the car for much longer after I put them on though so don't know how they last). I was looking at the Potenza RE760 Sport for when I'm ready for my next set of tires so glad to hear I can possibly get a good 20k miles on them! Don't have to worry about snow here so that's not a problem...

Michelin makes a better tire. Although you get what you pay for with Michelin. If you're pricing tires, the bridgestone may be better than the equal priced Michelin. If that makes sense. Top line stones are not as good as top line michelins. Both great tires though.

I have been very happy with the BS RE760 but they are starting to wear a bit now and only have a few thousand miles left on them, so I am looking at changing them and want an A/S tire since I live in the NW and weather is wet and a bit snowy in the winters.
