[s-cars] S-CAR-List Digest, Vol 97, Issue 29

[Eric Sanborn]

I have been running different models of Potenzas on my cars since 1995.
 First my '83 GTI, then my wife's CRX (still have), then my 4000q.  They
keep obsoleting them on my, but the CRX currently has RE950 tires.  They
are pretty good in the snow, awesome in the wet, and a general all around
good tire.  My Allroad is currently on tires purchased by the PO, but I
will consider moving it over when the time comes.  I don't know how they
specific model you are looking at compares to what I have, but I have been
very pleased.
