narrowed down between this and Bridgestone Turanza LS-Z (looking for a daily, all season)

the Turanza's are $70+ more... worth it?!<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Ftires.jsp%3FtireMake%3D Bridgestone%26amp%3BtireModel%3DPotenza%2BRE960AS% 2BPole%2BPosition%26amp%3BvehicleSearch%3Dtrue%26a mp%3Bpartnum%3D245WR7RE960PP%26amp%3BfromCompare1% 3Dyes%26a

Those look like they belong on someone's Bonneville.

Check out #1 on this survey list. They are M&amp;S rated. Put them on before I sold the car and liked them quite a bit...<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Fsurveyresults%2Fsurveyd isplay.jsp%3Ftype%3DUHP">http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=UHP</a></li></ul>

Default No, but they rank #1 on Tirerack & Bridgestone's I've seen have awesome rim curbing protection

They have the best rating in the <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Fsurveyresults%2Fsurveyd isplay.jsp%3Ftype%3DUHPAS">Ultra High Performance All Season category</a>. They will probably be the next set of tires I purchase. As for the others off that list I've tried the Pirelli PZero Nero M&amp;S and the Continental ContiExtremeContact, both of which I have liked a lot. The only other Ultra High Performance All Season that I have tried is the Toyo Proxes 4, which got really really loud with wear (altho that may be my fault for having a bad alignment and not rotating) and didn't seem as good as the Pirelli's in the snow (haven't tried the Continentals in the snow yet).

Default Are they actually M&S rated Steve? It says they are summer only and that they shouldn't be

driven in the cold or light snow.

Default They are M&S rated....Probably on the edge..>>

of the rating as they're technically in the "Summer" Category. From the Description: "While meeting minimum tread design standards to be "M+S" branded," They had M&amp;S on the sidewalls.

Read the reviews for more..I don't do snow...:-)

Default Re: Wanna save some money?

Thanks for the suggestion ~ actually quite a surprise with that price!

alas "We do not suggest Exclaim UHP tires be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice." is a disqualifier here in the NE...
