help! need new tires!
hey guys I have the stock 19's currently running bridgestone potenza's (which wore out real quick) I don't race my car, however I do rip it every now and then, and I wanted to know which tires I could get. All that i'm really looking for is slow wear and comfort (but if you could name some with good grip too that'd be cool too ) since im tired of the road noise from my worn out potenza's. Thanks!

When looking for tires pay attention to the UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grade) rating. They rate them for wear (stock Potenzas are like a 140, whereas many others are over 300 - for illustrative purposes, a 280-rated tire wore half as much as a 140-rated tire in a controlled test), as well as grip (AA best, C worst) and temperature resistance (A best, C worst).
IIRC the stock Potenzas are rated 140 A A - far from the best out there.
Check this link for more details about how UTQG is determined:
