Narrowed down to 3 : Opinions?
Hello forum,
it's getting to be the time to replace my front tires, and i'm gonna make the switch from RFTs; currently i have a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE050A, and the rears will remain awhile longer. I've read the board here & some online reviews, and have narrowed down to 3 options for my Los Angeles daily driver non-M si Coupe on 18s: Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport (is this the comparable non-RFT 050A?) advantage is non-directional asymmetry allows side-to-side "rotation" Dunlop Direzza DZ101 (i think the Sport Z1 Star Specs are too hardcore for me) side-to-side "rotation"? Yokohama S.drive (the oddball in thew group?) any opinions would be greatly appreciated; thanks for your input! |

Maybe I read wrong but I hope you aren't thinking of mixing run flats on the rear with non run flats on the fronts! Bad idea. Replace all 4 tires at the same time with the same brand and model of tire.

Potenzas
As someone mentioned, definitely change all 4 of them to non-run flats. You'll never regret it.
I would go Potenzas first, S drive second and finally the Direzzas. I was in the same price range when I was shopping for tires and did a whole bunch of research. 1. Potenzas and S drive have really excellent reviews. I chose Potenzas over S Drives over life of tire. 2. I had the Direzzas on the car and wasn't too happy with them. They were noisier than the bunch and have on OK wet traction. Online reviews also don't rate them well. I'm now running BF Goodrich Comp 2 Sports (also in the same price range) and they're excellent. Quiet, great wet/dry traction. I've had them on for 3 months now so I have to see how tread life is on them. Quote:

That's a safety hazard & definitely won't work.
