Eagle RSA's vs Bridgestone Potenza G009
Wednesday, May 03, 2006 4:51 PM
Well, I searched for reviews and info in this forum for the Potenza's and came up with nothing. I know you guys say anything is better than the RSA's but are the Potenza's? I ask because I bought my car with two RSA's up front and two brand new Potenza's in the rear. I'm just wondering if it'd be worth putting the Potenza's up front. They have a 460 treadwear rating which makes me think they're a harder compound and wouldn't get that great of traction... Thanks guys

the g009's are rated for 80,000 km (not sure off the top of my head in miles). the tread wear ratings dont really mean anything because they are made by the manufacturers of the tires, not the DOT like the traction rating and all the other ratings.

in my opinion, the G009's are better than the Good for a Year RSA's, but it also depends what you want. as an all season performance tire, the g009's are a better tire from what i have seen and heard. but, if you are looking for something really high performaing, then there is better tires than either of those.

if you are looking for mild handling and something still really streetable, then the g009's are a good option, if not save up some scratch and go replace all 4.



Injection is nice but id rather be BLOWN!

Thanks. Yeah, I prolly will wait to get new wheels for a tire upgrade since all 4 tires are nearly new now. I was just wondering if putting the G009's up front would give me any more peformance than the RSA's and sounds like it is the better option.
