Great tires at an affordable price point. Only had them on for a short time. The ride is more comfortable than the p zero and less noisy as well. Looking forward to see how they perform in the winter.

My car had an aggressive set of Potenza previously. The RE980AS are much smoother.

I haven’t driven the car in the snow with these yet, but if wet traction is an indication they will be great.

This is not my first time buying the Potenza's and I would say you really couldn't possibly go wrong with these for the money. The first day I got them was a terrible snow storm and while everyone else was slipping and sliding I was breezing through. I like to corner hard and I'm still getting used to these tires but so far they've stuck to the road great with no screeching or sliding. I'm very happy.
