I drive an Audi S5 boosted to 440hp and needed a tire to cope. The Potenza performs extreamly well. I'm not sure about wear rates yet but its a soft tire so not expecting high miles.

this is an update from comment on February 23, 2012....I've put over 8,000 miles on these tires in 5 months wear & tear and performance are still beautiful using nitrofill not oxygen(regular air)...still a satisfied customer & would absolutely recomend them to anyone, point blank!!!
I will be updating this comment in the future but so far I put 350mi on these in 3 days(delivery driver & I had General Exclaims before these), I'm using NITROGEN air(nitrofill)this time not oxygen,Im not a tire expert but these give me a smooth ride, & feels like better gas mileage...couldn't ask for better! havent really driven in the rain yet, they're not as loud as some of the comments I've seen, seems fairly quiet to me compared to my last set, haven't gone crazy w/ the breaking but feels on-point,pick-up is beautiful, paid $505 after taxes at Walmart(who would have thought?)not including installation. for the look, price-n-quality I'd recommend them for almost any car w/ speed of under 160, the only thing that im not feeling about these is theres no Rim Protectors other then that Im one satisfied customer.....Till next time!
