Who can rate bridgestone tires?

[ghetto waggon]

I'm looking into new tires and, because I work at costco, it doesnt seem logical to not even consider them as an option, as their prices are only 5-10% markup, which includes everything I need to get the tires on the car, and a 80,000 mile warranty.

The Bridgeston PotenzaRE730's look to be like the most "High performance" tires they have, at $148 a piece, mounted, balanced, stems, warranty all that.

My question is:

How good is bridgestone, and the potenza's?

How do they compare to the federal, toyo, yakohama (sp?) etc...?

I can tell you that the Potenza SO-3's are simply incredible. My dad has them on his Saab 9-5 and they out perform anything that I have ever seen. My friends dad uses them as his track tires for his 996 Porsche.

IMO go with the SO-3's, kinda spendy but worth the price.
