Two new rear tires were mounted on the S on Friday....along with other routine maintenance work. Since my Bridgestone RE960AS on the front are still good, I went with another set of these 960 Pole Position All Season tires. They gave me a couple small breaks on the pricing, so the price incl tax and all mounting was a little $300.
Yeah, I know the handling is not 10/10 but neither is my driving skill I checked my records and was amazed to find that I got 18,000 miles from the pair that was just replaced.
As John noted above, the AS tires give you confidence if you get caught on a trip and hit some snow/ice in an early fall or late spring storm. I was sure glad to have 'em when I hit a snow leaving Montana...
....and another snow squall heading towards Yellowstone during my roadtrip in LATE May 2008.

Michelin PS2 for late spring/summer/early fall and PA2 for late fall/early spring. Most inportant item is the tire patch on the road and the max wet weather capabilities. I can afford good tires but can not afford poor traction in the wet...
I'm still waiting on OhioRacer's review of the 760's.

Did a little skidding on wet pavement the other day making a turn although it was an inverted slope, so what do I expect eh? Caught me off guard though. Just had 75k service and the dealer said I still have 90% on the front and 60% on the rear. It's the rear mileage that I was trying to improve. I don't have the mileage numbers so I can't quantify wear yet.
