Keep the stock Turazana or swap them out?

Hey, new to this forum -- just signed the papers on a 07. I pick it up tomorrow. I have a friend who manages a Bridgestone tire store and can swap the tires out. Should I keep the Turanza EL42s or swap them out for Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions? Both are all season and according to Bridgestone, highly rated in their class. The Turaza is a "touring" tire and nearly $280/tire but I like the sporty looks of the much cheaper Potenza. Which is a better all around tire? How do you guys like the OEM Turanza?

Go for the swap. The Turdanza was probably the worst tire Bridgestone ever built.

I agree - do the swap. The RE960AS Pole Positions are supposedly a really great tire. Look up the ratings at tirerack.com.

The EL42....not so much.

Yokohama Advan S4 is one of the best all season tires out there!
