re050a pole position treadwear...
I just ordered and received a set of potenza re050a pole positions. After doing hours of research I finally decided to go with them for a few different reasons. They were rated #1 on tirerack and because they honestly sound like the best of the best (or pretty damn close to it) as far as street tires go. Also at $142 a tire they were signifigantly cheaper than all of my other options. They look good and I'm running blizzak lm25s as my winters right now and bridgestone has definitely made a good impression on me with those.
Now that they have arrived I notice that they have a treadwear rating of 140. Something I definitely overlooked during my hours of research. Like I said, I'm new to this. So are they going to wear signifigantly faster than a tire with a treadwear rating of say 280? I know a lot of it depends on my driving habits but i'm going to be bummed if these tires last me a season or two.
