I hated those potenzas. If you want a good all season with good tread life look at the conti Extreme contact DWS. They are awesome in the rain. They take a little longer to "scrub in" compared to other tires ive had. But after a few thousand miles they are great. Just becareful when you first get them.

Bored @ work, so I just searched on these. Wouldn't you rather have an AS tire than a Summer one? Even though it is about to get warm out, wouldn't an AS tire last longer going into the colder months? I'm guessing JGrizz Manor has a garage attached for storage so switching from Summer to Winter tires might not be an issue?? [like it is for some of us]
I bought summer tires because they are for my volks and I dont plan on using them anywhere near close to when it snows. And right now Chateau de Grizz does not have any storage problems for my summer and winter wheels. Although the GF is not understanding why there is a carbon fiber hood in the bedroom and why you need different lug nuts for certain wheels.
Im moving in June though and not looking forward to having no garage

Woody you can get my flywheel when it comes off the car...
Clay and jonathan:
I have never run the tires you have jonathan but I will say the toyo proxy T1r's that are on the car now have about equal grip and best performance similar to that of my hankook ventus evo 12's. the toyo's came ont eh rims when I bought them I bought the hankooks for something like 800 shipped for all 4 from a vendor on here.
the hankooks have good tread wear rating too...

too late already purchased. I thought of the toyos but didnt like all the reviews I read. And since i really liked the ones I have now I figured Id try the summer version. Maybe I will get the toyos next time around.

face. The guy at Sears finally told me that a size 19 wheel is strange because mose people don't run them, choosing instead to run 17, 18, or 20s. So at the time, there weren't a lot of options for me. Things may have changed since then, or maybe someone on here knows better? If given the choice, I'd never even buy a summer tire for this region. But that's just me....
