Tire Rack Closeout Sale (RX-8)

I know there isn't a lot of guys who still use the OEM tires for the 8. But Tire Rack is having a close out sale on the Bridgestone Potenzas for $75.00 a tire (normaly $205-$220 a tire). Check it out:

Seems pretty obvious.

if you lve where there's ice or snow you're better off with a second set of real winter tires (not all-season crap)

I just watched someone behind me spin off the road this morning heading out of our neighborhood at 20 mph

I've had two sets of Kuhmo Ecsta MX
Don't know about the SPT but Kumho is a very good tire for the price. The MXs have very good grip in the summer. I got about 30k out of my first set and 34k (bald) out of my second.

I had a set of Kumho ecsta's on another vehicle and loved them. It was a different design than the one above though, the tread pattern was one big V accross the whole tire.
