I need a new set of 4 tires to replace my stock Potenza's. I track 3 times a year, am an aggressive driver and would really like max performance. I have a completely stock setup, with a more aggressive alignment. I have been extremely satisfied with the stock tires and have gone throgh 4 sets, but I know there's better out there.

These are the ones I'm looking at:

Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R
Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position
Yokohama Neova Advan AD07
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2

 

I like the Yokos.

 

The Neovas and the RE-01R would be the better all out performance tires. The RE050 and the PS2 would be the better all around tires with better wet traction.
For how you are using the car I would go with the Neova or the RE-01R.
If I can help let me know.

 

Jim,

Are the Neova's worth the price difference?

 

I totally agree with everything Jim said. I hear the RE-01R can go alot longer without greasing over compared to an Azenis 615.

 

RE-01R's all the way. Just don't drive on them when it's cold outside... lol

 

I say go with the RE01R

 

If I didn't drive so much freeway, I'd definitely get the Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R

 

So I pulled the trigger on the Neova's since the RE-01R won't be available in my size for a couple more months. New tires go on this Saturday, but I'll def try the RE-01R after this set... =)

 

Let us know what you think! I'll be trying out the RE01R's as soon as I replace these RE050A PP's (which I REALLY like) they are a great all around tire. If the wear on the RE01R's is too quick for my wallet, I'll probably be coming back to the RE050a PP's
