the best tires - but the don't last long
I have been buying YOKO A046 since I had the car. I have to replace them about every 7000 miles, they don't even last the whole summer. Has anyone tried the Bridgestone POTenza's or insight as to whatever anyone is using.

I've had the Potenza's RE-01 now for 2-3 months (4,000 miles) now and I think the Yoko's are better. The side walls on the Bridgestone's are not as stiff and you know this as soon as you take a tight turn. On the drag strip they do grip well, and in the rain they are excellent. Nose is very little, and the ride is nice and smooth, but I think I drive the car too hard and need a R compound so the A048 is what I'm going to use now, since my RE-01's for my 18's cost me $1,048 when I could get yoko's for a few hundred more...

I have the Bstone RE050A pp, and its a great alternative to the stockers at 1/2 the price. Would love to try the A048. Also, wouldn't mind experimenting with a tire like the Federal 595RS. But, theres not much info on these around.

I been using Potenza RE070 "there OEM STi tires" I loved them there pretty sticky and about 1/3 cheaper then the Advans which r probally the best tires tho !!! but you do need to go down a size for the RE070... 225!
