NT05s or Bridgestone Potenzas S04

[blumnday99]

I'm looking to replace my rear tires...either a 285/35/18 or 295/35/18.

Don't really spend too much time at the track or drag strip. Mostly some spirited street driving every once in a while.

I'm a little concerned with the lower tread rating on the NT05 and don't mind paying a little more for the Potenzas if it's a better tire.

The Potenza So-4 does have a slightly higher treadware rating so, generally speaking, they should last a little longer.

When it comes to size the NT05 is offered in both sizes but the Potenza is only available in the 285's.

How many miles do you put on the vehicle per year?

About 12,000 a year.

Based on what you are looking for I recommend going with the S-04. This model handles and rides extremely well and with the amount of miles you typically drive per year you should get two years of service out of them.

Perfect. Do you know if the S04s run a little wider for a 285?

 

[Matt@DTD]

The S-04 does run larger when compared to most other models in the same size.

Great!...what's the price on 2 285/35/18 S04s?

Thanks for all your help!
