I was talking about the size. So therefore this is Bridgestone's "high end" tire for that size. Hell I could put some Bridgestone racing tires on there....but then the speedometer would be off. The Potenza RE-01R is rated at 919 Revs Per Mile while the stock tires are 872 Revs Per Mile. The is Potenza RE-01R is 1.2 inches smaller than the stock tire. The Potenza RE-01R is 2 inches wider than the stock tire. It's like comparing a Toyota to a KIA.
