I need tires again. My Bridgestone Potenza S-03's are nearing the end of their life (actually..just the rears are)

I'm going again and going to bujy my first set of NON- summer performance tires. I'm just sick of tires that don't grab under 40 degrees.

So..normal size 245/45/17, nothing super expensive. Let's say $200/tire is my limit. I only need two right now.

yup yup. I had these on the Audi and they were phenomenal but it may have been part to do with the Quattro system aswell though.

The fiance has the Potenzas on hers and I can't wait to get rid of those pieces of garbage.

Greta performance and rain tire but man do they suck at cold temps.


I autocrossed on mine and they always held and were predictable when they lost grip. Of course that might be why my front tires rounded over on the edges and need to be replaced now

General Exclaim UHP.

I cant remember if they are listed as an all season, but they have a more all season tread to them, and they do well in the rain.

These are my front tires only, stock size but they work great. I got them $88/tire from Tirerack.

I have Nitto 555's on my 04 and I love them.
The 90 has Fuzion ZRi's on it and they are very good tires for the money, they were dirt cheap.
