Got new rubber on the rear

wow, so much quieter on the freeway. I was about halfway down the wear bars on the inside. I actually milked them farther than I'd hoped milage wise.

What did you buy?

New tires will always be smoother and quieter then worn one's.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A N0

$706 plus $65 to mount & balance as well as check balance on the fronts.

Dealer wanted $980 plus $50 to check the fronts.

Was there a reason why you didn't go with the Michelin PS2 N4s?

Since my fronts were good I just matched the rears to them. I figure the next time I'll probably have to spring for all four so maybe I'll switch to something else then.
