my bridgestone potenzas. so i roll with the ventus on the rear now and potenzas up front. i had potenzas on the rear before and they lasted 8 months. the hankooks dont have the same sticky grip but have been better in the rain. the tread lasts longer on the rs-2s. but must agree with John... i bought a beater in November so my z doesnt see the snow no mo'. and what a great purchase with all the friggin snow we've had. 95 camry 113k miles. 5 spd and I paid $1500. I even put a koyo rad in that bad boy
