Hi People,
Does anyone know whether the Bridgestone Potenza GIII is a summer or all-season tire?

TIA

It is a Summer tire.. A great one at that - Not as good as the S0-3 though. Good bang for the buck.

They're also very good in the rain too..

S0-3's are now discontinued... the Potenza RE050 PP are the new ones to replace em. havent heard much of it but to replace the s03, it must be a good tire.

Do you guys have a picture for us that don't know what that tire looks like. Thanks

Great. I put a set on my 6 last night, 225/50R16 92V, no rubbing, so far so good. 1400 riyals (about $380 US) from the dealer, mounted and balanced. Not a bad deal, methinks.
