Potenza describes a pretty broad range of Bridgestone tires and some are better than others. I've had Dunlops on a few cars and the models I've had all wore out very quickly compared to the competition. Their price made them attractive, so the short life wasn't all bad, but I've not had any Dunlop car tires last very long at all.
I totally agree. The RE92s are noisy. when they are dry the grip is decent but if the ground is wet(most of the year it is wet here) then it hydroplanes in very small puddles. Glad I'm getting Conti DW tires now. suppose to be fantastic in wet weather.
