Hey are the Bridgestone Potenza RE040 good tires? I see that are expensive as HELL.. even more than Yokohomma AVS Sports. But they seem to be OEM tires on some of the best handling cars out there, including Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Ford Focus SVT, Nissan Sentra SE-R SpecV, Mazdaspeed Protege and even the new Ferrari Enzo (who is a Pirelli loyalist).

Anybody have experience with them? Are they worth the near 50% mark up over the Yokohoma AVS Sports?

I heard they're good, and they're not too expensive 67 bucks each.. and I heard they're a good step up from the Firestones we got right now.

thsoe firestones we got now sure last a long time though.
