after 2000 miles...

extremely quiet and smooth; the softer rubber certainly grips the road.MPG has dropped by about 2 to 3 mpg... but the ride and traction is worth it.

Bridgestone Potenza G019

Mounted a new set this weekend and what a difference? Quiet, smooth ride and seems to handle better. Tire Rack has some great rating on the tire, so decided to give a try. Will update after driving in some rain (if we ever get any) and adding a few K miles.

Re: Need to get new tires soon. Need advice. (zdkaiser)

I've done lots of research and it appears the Bridgestone Turarza Serenity would be a good value...tirerack had some good reports about people switching from Michelin to Bridgestone TS.Price seems to be in line w/Michelin 125 to 140 range
