We rubber

Just fitted the new Potenza sport tires to the Aston …it has transformed the car it now handles like a lightweight go cart and the price was competitive to boot - circa 1200 USD for all four, 245/40/19 front and 305/30/19 rear on the standard 9j rim 👍I run 18mm spacers on the rear and 11 on the front ( self made )

These I assume? Cheap price. What makes them different in feel to the REO50/AM9 Potenza's? Is the ride as hard as the AM9's? [why I switched to the PS4's]

you say the ride is hard? This is normal for low profile rubber, I found the price on the new sports a winner and the reputation of the Bridgestone speaks for itself ….time will tell if it was a great choice

The PS4's are the same profile and alot easier on the bladder than the Bridgestone AM9's

Did you replace factory rubber or something else?

this is my third set of tyres on the car, from OEM I went to Falken 453 they were good and competitive price now I’m trying these, I have the new PZeros on my Ford Mustang and they really are sh 1t on that car, so hoping this choice is ok

Michelin have a much better ride than Bridgestone in my opinion also.

this may be true, but tyres don’t last long with me …so I look for a bargain I don’t ***** foot my cars and regularly have smoke pouring out the wheel wells 😎 makes no sense to buy the most expensive…IMO
