Default What a difference a new pair of shoes makes!

Original owner in '09, put on 4 new Bridgestone Potenza Pole positions, which after 7 years obviously had their day. Tread life was still well in tact and no physical evidence of cracking / drying out. However after 6-7 yrs, tires tend to become compromised / dry out, etc. and especially considering all my 3 young kids love to go for a rides, I was no longer comfortable w/ them.

I slapped on a set of same exact size
BFGOODRICH G-FORCE SPORT COMP-2
Ultra High Performance Summer Front: 205/55ZR16 91W and Rear:
225/50ZR16 92W

All I have to say is WOW!!! With improved handling comes a 100% improved ride and road feel. It's actually night and day and I now realize how dried out and hard those dated tires were.

One of best all around sport tires for the money. New shoes make a huge difference.

I was shocked at the difference, especially since it's the first car that I ever owned, that went from a 7yr old set to new.

BTW, nice avatar!
