Re: Time for Tires 850 1996

I recently replace the Mich XGTV4s on my T5 with Bridgestone Potenza

RE 730's. I can't say how they perform on snow. But, I did learn

that if you like the tires you have now, just stick with them. The

730s are much harsher then the OEM tires. Yep, they stick like glue

and do outperform the OEM tires but I am surprised at how much harsher

they are (my 70 series now rides more like the firmer 850s do). Overall,

I like them but the OEM tires were a better performance/ride compromise (for me).
