sumitomo tires

[Lauren G]

I'm also looking for new ones--looks like I'm trying to choose between
the Yokohamas (ES100s) and Bridgestone Potenzas (RE950).  I haven't seen
anyone say much about the Bridgestones although some of the reviews on
tirerack.com look promising.  Opinions?

Thanks,

-Lauren
