Just picked up my '14 Roadster S today. It came with Bridgestone Potenza 205/45/17 RFT 'performance' tires. Most models I saw at the dealership had Continentals on them. Anyone familiar with these tires? Good, bad, or otherwise?

 

As far as RFTs go, I loved mine. It is a sticky summer tire that has stiff sidewall for firm turn-in and pretty good handling IMO. Mine didn't last long. I got them with about 8-9/32 (10/32 is new) and did this to them with a total on 19k miles on them (10 was me from the 8/32 on). They weren't as sticky as my Michelin Pilot Super Sports, but darn good for a stock tire (RFT too).

Needless to say I went way too long on these tires to the point where it was dangerous to drive and illegal. I had only bought the car 4 months prior and did not anticipate needing tires 3-4 months into owning it with such good tread when I bought it. I guess I just enjoined the car too much and my H Sport Comp RSB.

 

Wow, you surely wore out those puppies in 19k miles.
