I used to run the potenza Re910's and they were AWSOME. I cut a 1.9 60ft with them, drove around in 4-6in of snow before plows got out, wet traction was hands down the best I have ever driven. I have heard some poor comments on other model lines and they dont offer the 910 anymore the pole positions have been a really good model as well but are at the top of the Bridgestone Potenza line in $$$ terms.

Click to expand...

from what ive been hearing they are known to have really weak side walls... my problem was i had mine for a few months and went to the track like 3 times and they were down to the metal ribbing already...
