Hey guys,

Sorry if this is a repost topic.

My car is 04 at 28,000 miles, and it's still using the original tires.

I didn't replace it because I think the mileage is still pretty low.

What do you guys think about it? Should I replace it?

Thanx,

Take a look at the tread on the tires. Stick a penny upside down and if you can see Lincoln's head, then its time to change.

I guess I'll replace my tires next week..
I checked it just now with the coin method, and it worked.
Maybe I'll replace it with Bridgestone Potenza RE960 AS Pole Position.
What do u guys think? any suggestion?
"3mm is a minimum for safety IMHO"
anyway, what IMHO stands for?
Thanx..

Hey guys,

Just replaced my stock tires with the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS today. It is an incredible tire. The noise comfort is much

better than The stock continental that we first have in our cars. The first thing that I recognized was

the difference in ride and noise comfort. just in case anybody want to replace their tires, I would recommend these tires..I know

that I cant say much about it because this is my first day w/ these tires but the survey results and review might help you.

thanks to those who gave me their opinion before.

This is the link which shows the reviews and survey results of Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS:
