Thread: ordered new tires

just ordered these for the car. http://www.bridgestonetire.com/produ...za_RE760_Sport

Why potenza's?

Directionals??

well i read up on alot of different tires. to me after reading all the reviews the potenza re760's was a good balance between performance and price. also i already have potenza's on the rear of the car. whoever owned the car before me had mismatched tires. potenzas on the rear (which were new) and yokohama avid envigors on the front. the yokohama's sucked. and i think they are directional.

is there a reason i should not have gotten them?

i've never looked at prices but tread wear is not so great and I would say they may only last 30-35k miles befor they start to cup badly because they are directionals.

Rotations every 3-5k miles are a must with potenza's to prolong there life, and you can only go front to back which a reason for uneven wear or cupping.

i cant rotate tires at all. i have the gxp. 255's up front and 225's in the rear.

Well thats gay, now they wont last long at all.

BUT, I know a way around it. It will cost you some $$ tho.

Drive for say 5-7k miles, then take your car to a tire place and have them dismount the tires and swap them to the other side rim.

That way the inside of the one tire is now the outside, ya follow me?

ahh sound good. the best part is my wife works at a body shop. so i get them mounted and balanced for free! thanks.
