2000 S70 SE (1 of 3)
This is my problem child, Thew everything at me that these cars are haunted with, but it taught me alot and is my favorite one of all 3, Moondust is a beautifull color, although it appears silver, it turns gold at dusk and these turbo rims (not stock) match the paint perfectly. Rims are 16's (stock is 15's). Gives the car a nicer look but really didnt sacrifice ride or decreased depenability as does with too shallow of a sidewall. Tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE 960 AS pole position, 205/55/R16 400- AA/A, Directional but worth it.......

Are you happy ith the Bridgestones?
Got them too on my R, but just hate them. As soon as the streets are wet, i loose almost all grip

Hey Pafro
Im surprized, Ive had good luck with these tire's. They seem to have well balanced performance in all season's. If you check Tire rack they rate them high in wet performance compared to most other choices in that size.
I found them to be much better than the michelin Mxv4plus in wet conditions. Although the Mxv4plus is smoother and quieter in dry highway conditions, They were terrible when it got wet.
Heres the link to its writeup. Most of the opinions seem to praise them for good grip in wet conditions
