Bridgestone Potenza 225-50-17 RE9

What do you think about them?
Are they better than out stock ones?

People on Tire Rack say the Potenzas that fit the OEM TL-P 16 inch wheel really suck.

I'm going to get myself some Turanzas come tax return time.

If it's the RE 92s, I would try something else. I have not heard many good comments about these. Some car manufacturers use this tire as stock rubber, but the owners end up switching to something else. I may try the Yokohama AVS ES 100 next. It sounds pretty good for the price. Only thing is that it doesn't come in 225/50 17, so I may have to stick with the 215/50.
