Potenza RE930i v. Energy MXV4+

codex57 · Oct 23, 2003

Anyone got opinions on either of these two tires. I've basically narrowed it down to these two. It's for a Toyota Camry so the key issues are treadwear and noise/ride. Handling would be nice, but c'mon, it's just a Camry. I'm trying to figure out if the $25 extra for each tire is worth it for the Michelin.

I've had the Bridgestone Potenzas before and they were great on both wet and dry weather. I haven't tried those Michelins before, but you won't go wrong with the Bridgestones.

Hes right after all i'd also go for the brand the ENZO's shed in!

about how long did they last? The treadwear says 45,000 miles while the Michelins claim 60,000. Were the Bridgestone's pretty quiet? The Bridgestone is $90 per tire and the Michelin is about $115 after coupon. If that treadwear rating is accurate, it might be worth the extra $25.

Which brand does the Enzo use? The Bridgestone's? This isn't the Pole Position or whatever they're max performance tire is. It's their A/S performance touring tire.

Give it a shot Richard and let us know. Yes the Bridgestones were very quiet.

From what i can remember the ENZO uses a new Bridgestone Potenza(specially formulated for the ENZO). But it was really just a pointless fact i remembered rather than being any use to you [:D]
