I have bridgestone Potenza pole positions s-03 and they are by far the best tires ive personally delt with. I cannot get them to even squeal, they just always grip corners. AWESOME tire.
You can't get them to squeal or you can't get them to turn over (spin) ? If you can't get them to turn maybe you have clutch or engine problems ???

I want to stay away from the KDW2's because everyone's saying they're not good in cold weather and that's what NJ is for 4 months of the year. As of right now I'm probably going to go with the BFGoodrich g-force Super Sport a/s
If ur lookin for a all around good tire the potenzas are nice. or like i said before the nt 555s are great.
lol dude i can vouche for the kdw's. i have them on mine year round, and yes, around the 30's they start to grip a lil less but ya gotta realize what kinda grip u started out with.
good luck pickin tires dude

Just realize that a good handling tire(stiff sidewall) taht BFGoodrich tends to make is not a good drag tire and a softer sidewall tire will be more for drag racing.
Depending on what you like to do with your time.

It almost has the same tread design with more little slits in the tread for snow grip
As well as a much MUCH softer compound.
Tires hes looking at, http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=0
My tires, http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=1
My tires have the softer compound and grip slightly better.
Snow tires, and all season tires are the softest on the market.
Summer tires are harder, and grip better as they heat up(to a certain point)
All season/snow tires have higher grip at lower temps are over heated easier.
And look at a KDW-II next to the ones he is talking about...they look the same with more slits in the tread blocks.
I am not saying your tire performs less than those.
I am saying the all seasons look more in common with the KDW-II

According to tirerack treadwear rating is 400 vs 340.... Plus the summer got 9.2 vs 9.1 dry traction or something like that (to lazy to pull it up again), So like i said very small difference, Which is why i will buy a/s's when these are done
Those tires you have now are to be discontinued soon, and with the latest test of the KDW-IIs bombing so bad...there should be a new UHP summer tire coming from them soon.
I'll take the same exact thing just quieter plz
Bridgestones are looking mighty appealing
I'll take the same exact thing just quieter plz
Im either going with the a/s's, OR Buy some hhr wheels with bizzarks and some KDW's for the summer. Unless of course somthing better comes out...
But these are almost brand new so i got awhile as long as i can keep the rubber on the tire and not on the road
