I would strongly consider other brands if it's time to replace your tires. The stock potenza's are so-so and wear life is horrible...

I would highly recommend spending quality time in the tire section on driver. You'll find that purchasing stock size RE050's is about as popular as drinking prune juice. Assuming 19's, the popular route is 245/35 and 255/40. You'll find much better selection, no backorders, no VDC issues, and a much more normal looking sidewall in these sizes. Falken FK452 (my choice) and Kuhmo SPT have tons of threads in the tire section.
