customer of mine with an STI is ready for new rubber at 12k miles. He wants something a lil cheaper than the Potenza on it now, but similar performance (if not better).

Just want some ideas from ya’ll about who has run what and how good it is. Most likely looking at a Y=rated tire also…

I don’t know abot cheaper but the Bridgestione SO3s are a good tire. You could also go with the PZeros. Also take a look at what BFG has to offer.🆒 😉

i been running the potenza re730’s on my car for the last few years, there a really good tire, nice treadwear ,super stiff sidewall and excellent in the rain, but i doubt they will be cheaper than what he has now.

also awesome tires, but you might as well be on slicks in the wet. and they wear faster then the kumhos. the dry traction of the falkens is a bit better though.

KD’s are nice but mad pricy and not that good in the rain  
KDW is better IMO if your trying to stay a little pracitcal.
