Bridgestone Turanzas, anyone have these?

Anyone running Bridgestone Turanzas? I've got a set of these reserved to get installed tomorrow. At $120 each I want to make damn sure they are a big improvement over the Potenza RE92's that the vic came with. I can't really complain about the Potenza's, they've been good for the last 34,000 miles, but are starting to loose grip now.

The Turanza line, I think are purpose built all season, while the Potenza line is a bit more on the sporty side.

The turanza is a grand touring tire, perfect for any weather. I LOVE these tires. I got the LS-H version for stock alloy rims. They are so quiet they make kinda like an air noise. They have excellent traction even in the rain I've never had them spin on me. Compared to stock firestone, these tires are 10x better in every way.

I think most anything is better than the stock Firestones, as soon as there was any water or snow on the ground you were treading on thin ice. Even the Potenzas on later models were lightyears ahead of them.

From what I've heard the Turanzas are an impressive all-season tire. You might want to check at www.tirerack.com for some reviews on them.

I had Bridgestone Turanzas on my Accord a while back. I had no complaints.
