Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position

Can anyone with these tires shine some insight on them?? I've read nice reviews and I think Im going to get them. Any other recommendations for tires?

I want an all season tires with low road noise, good comfort, and good traction.

The tire is still pretty new for us, so not alot of feedback from customers. The test data on the tire was very favorable (see results here), and the previous model was well received (RE960AS). Like most of the Ultra High Performance tires, the Bridgestones have a very high speed rating (W), so I would not exactly call the ride super comfortable, but it pretty good compared to the competition.

I believe I had the re960's which were pretty good. Currently I've got michelin pilot super sports which ride about the same but hook up better. Wear seems similar too.

I ended up getting these tires, just got them mounted yesterday. Will give my thoughts on them after a little drive time.

They are a lot quieter and more comfortable right off the bat which I am pleased about considering I'm lowered, have mounts and a loud exhaust
