URGENT: Which tires? Bridgestones or Yokohamas?

[bpilati]

Tire size 205/60/HR15

Bridgestone Potenza G 009 $67

Yokohama Avid H4S $56

Ratings are very close.

Opinions?

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.

I would go the Bridgestones.

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.

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.

Bryan....I have seen your car @ the Tidewater show....I would go with 225/50/15 Yok AVS ES 100...but thats me...I prefer yoks over all other brands

my opinion is:

if they really do serve the same purpose, and are really are the same class of tire ............. TOSS A COIN and be done with it.

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...

[EScanlon]

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.

FWIW

Yeah, just send me the $44 and get yourself a rare harness cover!

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.

AVS ES 100
