The Potenza's RE 92 are crap, not worth it IMO. I changed my out and went to Turanzas. The Turanza LS-H with UNI-T AQII (15's only come in 205/60/15). I love them, grips much better and lasts longer. The new Solaras come with turanzas also, EL-42.

read that the turanza were crap from the gen2 forum...
The Potenza RE92 suck in wet and snow, not that well in dry too.
I have the Michellin Pilots on there now. the traction is ok but the wear is bad.
You should check out the Pirelli PZero Nero, if that's too expensive check the Kumho Escta ASX

S03's are great, but have poor treadwear. It's always a compromise between treadwear and performance.

I got Kumho Ecsta 714s on my 15's. I think it was 714, not sure on the number. They are grand touring all season tires.

Its only 40 bucks a corner at tirerack.com, and they are rated one of the best. The traction is WAY better than the RE92, and they are also alot more comfortable since they have squishier sidewalls. Rain traction TRASHES the RE92, and snow is even pretty good.

Only complaint is slight noise in cornering, but its not too much, and its only when you corner at semi-high speeds. Ive only had them since the snow started this last winter, but im very happy with them so far.

My potenza's re 92 lasted till 22K miles. I'm currently at 45K miles (ie. 23K miles on current rubbers). they are some el chepo walmart brand called Douglas Performance series..that my wifee replaced...They are not bad for the price. I know people are gonna say..don't compromise safety...but for 22K miles..they still ride and look new. Not bad

I just bought some Bridgestone Potenza RE750 P205-50-R16 and I love them. My car handles better, has better traction in wet weather, and hardly make any noise. Please I like the rim guards. I've had them for about 8k miles.
