Default Tire choices

Hi, I have a 99' GS4 with 19" MRR GT1 wheels. Should I get the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position tires for the summer and use my blizzaks(whose thread life is about 50% on 16" wheels) for the nj snow OR just get the potenza re960 for my 19's for year round use. Does the re960 have the corning and smooth ride ability of the re050's?
Thanks

I have RE960's on my stock 16's. I couldnt be more happy with them. Pretty quiet, and they handle great. Im running 225 / 50 / 16. I can only imagine if I had 30's how great these would be.

The RE050A is the factory summer time for a whole bunch of vehicles. The RE050A will definitely out-perform the RE960 since the 960 is a all season. but if you want a great bridgestone tire at a great price, the new RE760 is definitely the way to go. Theres not going to be too many reviews since its a new tire but I have high expectations from it.
