I have narrowed down the tires I will be getting to either the Dunlop SP Sport Signatures or the Bridgestone Potenza G 019 Grid in 215/45/17. Every time I decide on one, someone says something to make me change my mind. I am ordering from Tirerack on Friday so I need to make my decision by then. So which one do you all think is the better tire? And please, don't suggest any different tire, just keep it between these two! Thanks.

 

The GRIDs are a very solid choice -- almost bought them for my MCS on recommendations from friends, went with (slightly-sportier) RE960s at the last minute, but still bought GRIDs for my Subaru the next month.

 

I had the same dilema, and i ended up with the Grids. They were cheaper, and seemed to have a higher treadwear rating. Plus, there a multiple reviews of MINI owners with them, none seemed dissatisfied.

I like them, they are softer than my RFs, and i cant break them loose as easy
