Brigestone Potenza G009 tires?

Hello,

Saw where Tire Rack gave them generally good marks, aside from
complaints about soft side walls/rubbery handling if pushed hard.

I was thinking about putting a set on my 03 Camry SE, and would like
your feedback if you have these tires, especially if they are on a
Camry.

Thank you, and look forward to your replies.

Platil

You got 260 opinions on the tire at tire rack and you want a couple of
comments here?

Re: Brigestone Potenza G009 tires?

Dude, you sound like me! Like you, I searched through tons of reviews
on tirerack and other forums.

After long thought, I decided to settle for these on my wife's Lexus
ES300 (I should have them in a few days). Here's my reasoning:

1) They are for my wife...and I doubt that she will be cornering at
high speeds.
2) Snow traction seems to be good.
3) Bridgestone tires are QUIET! (This one's for her.)

If this was for me, I would have gone with a pair of Yokohama's H4S,
with a wider stance. This will fix the sidewall issues you may have.
I bought a set of these for my Nissan Maxima and the performance is
great. A little noisy, yes...but great cornering and stability. Much
better than the previous Toyo and Sumitomo sets.

Check out this website to find a tire size that has a wider stance than
your OEM size.
