The Potenza G009 is Bridgestone's High Performance All-Season tire that was developed to meet the needs of sports car, coupe and sedan drivers who want to be associated with the performance heritage of the Bridgestone brand in racing. The Potenza G009 combines Bridgestone's advanced UNI-T Technology with affordable pricing.



Bridgestone's UNI-T Technology focuses on three primary tire components, the beads, casing and tread, which influence overall performance by enhancing comfort, handling and traction. On the outside, the Potenza G009 molds a Long Link Carbon Black tread compound into a directional tread design that features stable tread blocks for sporty handling, flowing grooves that channel water towards the sides of the tire to resist hydroplaning, and independent, siped shoulder blocks to provide the snow biting edges needed for winter traction. A continuous, arrow-shaped center rib helps reduce noise while providing constant road contact to increase straight-line stability. Internally, the Potenza G009 features a Computer Optimized Component System which blends twin, high-tensile steel belts with spiral-wrapped jointless belt edge strips to stabilize the tread area to enhance handling, high-speed capability and ride quality while minimizing weight.



Bridgestone Potenza G009 tires feature black sidewall styling with black letters reversed out of a circumferential serrated band. They are H-speed rated and available in 65-, 60-, 55-, 50-, 45- and 40-series sizes for 14" to 17" wheel diameters.

so thats what tread looks like https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Get the Falken 512's... you'll like them.



cheap here: Vulcan - $41 each

and they look real nice too, design wise

Falken Azenis...they hold the road like crazy...and their price/treadlife/performance is really good. I"ve used them exclusively, and love them.

I wish you lived closer. I have a hook up for Toyo Proxes Ra-1's Roace compound.



While the treadwear is only 50 and they will not last long I can get 4 205/60-15's for $100. So who cares. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png





Mazdadrifter has a set and they have amazing grip. But they will only last about 2000-5000 miles.

am I close enough?? That would be awesome.

Yeah ship a set my way Jim!



If Jim can't hook you up, try Falken Azenis.. Just for the summer. I doubt they will last until winter, which is good, because you shouldn't drive on azenis in the winter. But those are truly amazing tires.
