I had the stock Bridgestone Potenza, then moved onto the Pirelli Super Sport with my RH M5's. Now, I am running on Toyo FZ4 with RH Z5000. Really BAD reality TV is the reason I stopped watching MTV.

Yeah I like it better than the Pirelli. The Pirelli's were a bit too noisey for me. I didn't have AC before, so I had to have the windows down and those suckers were LOUD. The Toyo's have a nice grip and very quiet. I am sticking with them. Really BAD reality TV is the reason I stopped watching MTV.

Plus they got this cool rim protection ridge on the side wall ... looks neat. Lately all it's been doing out here is raining, so I've had plenty of time to test these tires wet weather performance.

It doesn't rain much here in Cali. Isaac's just got Kumho's. I think those tires are best bang for the buck. Really BAD reality TV is the reason I stopped watching MTV.

They are a really nice tire. Very responsive, stick to the road and wet traction isn't that bad. The only downfall is the trealife. i have about 4500 miles on these and they are about 1/2 gone, but i do drive me car hard each and every day.

Wow, are you serious. That isn't much tread life. Anyone have Yoko Parada (sp?)? You know, the ones with the funky tread line running off to the side?

They were intalled on the car when I bought it and are pretty good. I get great response and handling from them.
