Bridgestone 275/35/19 potenza 050A

Long shot I know. But, I got a large nail in my almost new tire (5750 mi). No longer a high performance tire after the repair. One only, rear tire for the Sport edition. Need low mileage.
Thanks

you're better off going with bridgestone s-04 tires. cheaper, grippier, and lasts longer. i surmise that the 050a are only as expensive as they are due to the manufacturing agreement to use them as the standard oem tire. it's an old tire now, as well.

Thanks, but I've already replaced it with a new one. $370. Ouch!

I did the same thing after buying mine. they are ok tires for the cost. you are better off spending 50 bucks more for two new 760's

Well, I needed the tread to match. Lot of good choices out there. Lot a good valid opinions. I put the 970 All Season on my previous Z, and I was real happy with them. hard cornering, everything. Probably will again when the time comes.
Cheers
