Bridgestone Potenza question

I found Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position tires for $69 a piece, $307 all together with shipping and everything. I'm sure that this is a great deal, but I was wondering if these are great all season tires? Are there any other suggestions? Thanks everyone

Don't know much about them but you can read plenty reviews on www.tirerack.com. The price your paying is not bad at all. I did not like my old OEM tires at all as I had very little wet ground traction with them and they were bridgestone but I think these are higher quality then what I had. Good luck.

There good tires. My neighbor owns a Firestone and he's hooked us up with Potenza's all the time. There a well rounded tire for the price.

Its a great price for the tires, so I think I'm going to go ahead and get them. what kind of tires does everyone else have? I'm always up for great suggestions, I don't want to make the wrong choice for my car. Thanks again

I think you made a good decision to get them. Right now I have kumho powerstar 759's I think its called; really cheap but they've held up fine for a year and half now through all weather conditions and still alot of tread left. At the same time though I stopped taking corners at 60mph so the outside of my tires should last now lol.

I think the kuhmos were like 59 per tire so it came out pretty cheap for all four plus I had this coupon from the shop that offered the deal so it came out to like 300 something to mount and balance the tires. That was a really good deal but my next set of tires I'll probably get better ones. I'm happy with kuhmo though, I'd buy them again.
