Strength:
wet traction...at any speed.
Weakness:
wear wet snow This tire's great strength is wet traction. I live in Vancouver, Canada. We get A LOT of rain. I needed tires that were good in the rain and would stay on the pavement. The 910s delivered. I could not have not better for traction in rain at any price. I have uterly failed to get these tires to hydroplane. (Well. OK, I chickened out at 140 KPH, but that fast enough for the commute home, eh?) Dry handling is very good. Hard braking and turning are dependable. The tires are a little on the noisy side but not by much. I have found that tire wear is less than impressive as is traction in wet snow. However, I will say this. I drive a total beater car (1989 Chevy cavalier). The 910s transformed the car's handling. Bottom line, if wet traction is you issue, then these are the tires for you. Period. If you want all around performance tha does not involve a lot of snow then you won't go too far wrong with the 910s Similar Products Used: assorted Michelin products. ( Never again!!!) |

Strength:
Long-lasting, great traction, excellent lateral stability (the tire will "hop" when you hit a bump in a corner, but it'll catch right away)
Weakness:
Don't let them go bald or you'll regret it... they will not hold up any sort of snow like that, and there's a smashed guard rail to prove it. Since my car's RWD, I wouldn't mind a bit better longitudinal traction either. These tires really impressed me. I bought my car used, and these tires had already been put on them. I had the front ones replaced right away, but the rear tires stayed (big mistake!) The traction of my tires has been outstanding on both dry and wet, and lateral traction hasn't been too shabby in the snow. My rear tires are being replaced tomorrow, can't wait to take my car out after that! |

1999/camaro
Strength:
Strong sidewalls, alloy wheel protection band, sticks to the road in dry to wet conditions.
Weakness:
Poor traction in snow, Ride too harsh, If you hit a bump while taking a corner aggressivly the back end will break free. This was a replacement set for the factory Good Years. My initial impressions were to return the tires as it felt like I was hopping down the road. These tires are so tight and stiff that you feel every crack and bump in the road. The tires corner as if you are riding the rails, which after the first corner it showed me how much my old tires were actually pushing thru the corners. The RE910's are extremely responsive to the slightest turn of the wheel. Similar Products Used: none |

Potenza RE910
Strength:
Great stopping in rain and excellent corneringŒ
Weakness:
Low mileage. After only 72000 kms they need to be replaced. I have had these tires on my wife's Mystique since 1999 and we are exceptionally pleased with the wet weather performance.- |

2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE2
Strength:
Wet weather grip and lateral traction
Weakness:
slightly harder tread can be felt throught the suspension Just had these tires put on. They are very different than the OEM goodyear LS tires. Rain and wet weather traction is excellent. Dry traction is very good. Got 89000 km''s out of my goodyears and they were softer than these tires hope to get many km''s out of the RE910''s To find a good tire in the tire size needed for the grand am with plus size wheels is very difficult. 225/50/16 is not an easy size to find in stock. Will write in after first snow drive ! Similar Products Used: Goodyear LS Michelin MXV4 rainforcew Michelin Actric alpin Pirelli P6000 Cooper Cobra GT |

1993 Prelude Si
Strength:
excellent wet and dry traction, quiet, cornering and stopping performance match vehicle real well, decent in light snow and mud, rim protector, cost, high mileage tire compared to other, more expensive, name brand tires .
Weakness:
Haven''t found any so far. RE910''s are great tires. My daughter has put 70,000 miles, in 5 years, on them and they now need replaced. When looking for a tire, I wanted an all-season, non-directional performance tire. I prefer cross rotation because I feel you get more mileage. RE910''s fit the bill and at the time, an exceptional value. I will definetly buy RE910''s again. |

Strength:
Good sporty look, okay side wall, long lasting tread, great grip.
Weakness:
Side wall is a bit to big. I decided to go with the RE910 because it looked like the perfect tire for my 16" rims, and boy after taking a few races with them i was completely satisfied. During a race, the tire will burn for a split second and then Bam the tire will suck to the pavement and you will be flying. The tire also performs okay in rain. Would recommend to any driver willing to save money and at the same time get a good performance ride. Similar Products Used: firestone (factory) |

1999 Alero
Strength:
great looks, excellent traction great with trac assisted cars like mine.
Weakness:
sidewall not as "racy" looking as I would like I just put these tires on my car and wow, I am super impressed. The first thing you notice is the agressive tread which gives you the confidence to get behind the wheel and toss your car around. I noticed that on off ramps and such that there is a little lateral give to them but only for a split second after which this tire grips the pavement and holds a great line. I have not had the time to try in rain or snow yet. Similar Products Used: Eagle RS-A (OEM tires) |

none These tires kick butt!! I've taken 90 degree corners at speeds of up to 40 mph, and the car didn't slide. Tread is great for rain. Just a couple of nights ago i was driving down the interstate when i hit a huge, deep puddle of water. The car barely moved. I would recommend these to anyone Similar Products Used: none |
