Default Got my new Bridgestone Tires on,

I had my new Bridgestone Position Potenza tires installed today. What a huge difference in the ride. It's quite, smooth and the car doesn't jerk back and worth when you get on it.

I just put the same on my 2013 GS M6 3 weeks ago - --- and I like them -- but I really don't see much difference.. they do bite a bite better. Probably go to Michelins on the next tire change.

Last July I replaced the Goodyears' after 18,000 miles on my '13 GS w/ the Bridgestone run-flats. To me, the ride/handling is similar but they do
appear to be wearing quite well. Depending on how well they age, I will probably end up staying with them for the next replacement.

Default Great tires

I put non run flat Pole Positions on my C5 and really liked them after the sumitoyo's and khumo's that were on the C5 when I got it.
When I bought my C6 the seller had just put a set of run flat Pole Positions on the vette.
For a street car there isn't much difference between the run flat and non run flat Pole Positions IMHO.

I put them on my 2012 GS. Way better then the OEM good years. I got 25,000 miles out of my original Goodyear tires. I have 20,000 miles on my Run flat bridgestones, and they still look and handle great even in the rain.

I will probably get at least 45,000 miles out of them. I will buy them again when I wear them out.

I have 21,000 miles on the Bridgestone's on my 13 GS and they still have more than half of their tread life left. For use as a street tire they are much, much better than the GY's.
