bpilati Posted June 2, 2006 Share #1 Posted June 2, 2006 Tire size 205/60/HR15Bridgestone Potenza G 009 $67Yokohama Avid H4S $56Ratings are very close.Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunZsRule Posted June 2, 2006 Share #2 Posted June 2, 2006 I'm a big BF Goodrich and Goodyear guy myself. I guess if the ratings are very close then you might as well spend the extra $11.00 on the Bridgestone's if they are rated a little better.

Alfadog Posted June 2, 2006 Share #3 Posted June 2, 2006 I would go the Bridgestones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted June 2, 2006 Share #4 Posted June 2, 2006 I sold tires for a living for over 20 years. So I can honestly say there isn't a concrete answer to that question. One may be better than the other for my car and type of driving, but the other may be better for you. It depends on which one best meets your needs and expectations.

bpilati Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted June 2, 2006 Arne, I don't know what to do with you. Just give me an opinion please. They both serve the same purpose, and are the same class of tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hls30.com Posted June 3, 2006 Share #8 Posted June 3, 2006 Bryan,If you can't make up your mind, save the $44 and use it elsewhere on the car-you' won't know the difference in the tires, but you might get something for the $44 that will be worth the difference! What is the cost of a tank of gas relative to the qualty of a set of tires anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EScanlon Posted June 3, 2006 Share #9 Posted June 3, 2006 Choose by Tread Pattern. The first two are the Bridgestone, then the Yokohama...the third is a lot more money at $81.00 each, but they do make a bold statement, they're Yokohama AVS ES100 in your size.

sblake01 Posted June 3, 2006 Share #11 Posted June 3, 2006 Just slightly tangent to the topic, I have Yokohama A-509 tires on my Z. I absolutely love them but they don't make them anymore and what they do make is not really comparable. These tires stick in the corners, ride smooth, etc. Don't know what I'll do when it's time to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
