Hey all, I had a problem about which tires to choose!


I have a 08 G35s Sedan (With 18k on them) and it came with the OEM Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Positions. I love them but they were out too quick! On the other hand I loved the ride and performance. The other tires I am am looking to buy (and save money with) are Michelin Pilots and Falken 912's. I appreciate any input. Thanks guys!

Which Michelins? Cant really go wrong with Michelin... ever!

 

what kind of tires are you looking for?

 

Michelin Pilot Sport.
Did/do you have some yourself?

I am just looking for comparable or better performance than the Bridgestones, without having to pay so much you know?

 

Im looking for Summer/Sport tires. I would dislike the decreased sportiness with all weather tires.

 

The Pilot Sports will be comparable to the oem Bridgestones. The Falken 912's will pale in comparison to either tire.

What is your justification for the Michelins over the Bridgestones?

 

There is no justification, they are both as good as the other and will last about the same. I'd go with the cheaper option of the 2.

Thanks for your input! =)
I'll definitely consider the Michelins.

 

Michelin puts alot of time in R&D. They are always up at the top when it comes to performance, as well as staying quiet.

 

I'm in the same spot as Gen Nonsense and am looking at the Yokohama Advans that Tire rack rates higher than the Bridgestone Potenzas. Anyone else have an opinion on the Yokos?

BTW did Gen Nonsense mean 050A Potenzas? Thought I saw the Pole Positions are an A/S for our Gs, not a summer tire. I'll check at the Rack to see if I misread it.

 

I have Michelin PS2s and love them. Quiet and a great performing tire.

 

I'm probably gonna go for these when my OEMs wear out if you want another one in the mix....

My dad just bought these Contis for his 07 Accord and loves them. But, the OP may prefer the DW version since he is looking for a summer-like tire.
