BRIDGESTONE - POTENZA RE92 - P165/65R14 --- IS THIS THE TIRE I NEED?

[Knarfoh]

When owners are suggesting Bridgestone Potenza tires make a suitable replacement for the front-tires of a 2012 RT-S SM5 --- is this the tire they are talking about?

My local tire dealer said he would gladly install on my RIMS if I brought the tires in, but I want to make sure I am buying the right tire.

Thanks!

Yes. It's the right choice. I already had this tire on my 2010 RT-S. I put 37,000 miles on those tires. Very satisfied. My Spyder run smoother, quieter and had more grip than the Kenda crap.

And, when I remove those Potenza, I sold them to a friend who put them on it's Spyder RSS. They still look good for another 10,000 miles.

Can the tire place also balance the tire in your rim?

Yes. It's the right choice.

The local Walmart did the tire rotation (including switching the tires on the rims since the Kendas are directional tires) last year. They also balanced the tires.

The dealership is a Firestone Tire Center and they said they were comfortable they could do all of the work if Walmart was able too. LOL.

I will take the rims and tires off the Spyder and take them to the tire dealership. Guess I will have a final answer soon.
