Tire Rack Tire Test - Function Meets Fashion in High Performance All-Season Tires

http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=HP5&url=/index.jsp
High Performance All-Season tires offer performance oriented handling, civilized road manners and reasonable tread life. Fashion plays a role too, as the trend toward stylish tread patterns and eye-catching sidewalls gain momentum.
The Bridgestone Potenza G 019 Grid fits this mold to a T. To find out just how well it performs, we put it through the paces against other popular choices from the category.

I can fully appreciate that each tyre has its own advantages because of the variables between companies - compound, tread design, sidewall firmness etc BUT the way these are reviews are presented make it difficult (for people like me) to actually choose which one is best. If you finished the video review by saying "You will like and dislike [insert tyre brand here] because... would help this matter. Keep up the good work.

@autoxerwgn That sounds more like a suspension issue not a tire problem.

You'll be sorry if you buy the G019 Grid. In almost all applications, it feathers and turns choppy within a few thousand miles and then progressively get louder and louder.

Have you TR guys ever thought about testing longer term tire performance, such as treadwear and noise over time?

[Shenkoa360]

I am rocking a set of G019's on my car and my wife's car. Rain traction is fine if your not a race car driver, the tires are solid.
