LosDiosDeVerde86 Posted August 20, 2004 Author Share Posted August 20, 2004 GY Triple Tread or Regatta II. i have a distaste for the regatta IIs. at work (independant GoodYear) we're always putting them on minivans and stuff. the tread design is boring too. the Trip.Treds.....i don't trust em. they look cool, and it's a good idea, bit the center being for snow traction scares me. in order to make a good snow tred there needs to be a good bit of siping and a softer rubber compound which leads me to belive that the center will wear more rappidly than the rest of the tire. Plus it's a brand new model. i'd like to purchase a tried and tested tire and not be a guinae-pig. Also, neither of those were choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howards11 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I'm using P205/70R15 Bridgestone Turanza LST on my 2000 Forester. They did very well last winter in the snow and are doing very nice in all the rain we have been having this summer. They are very highly rated at tirerack.com ~Howard :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would purchased my Bridgestones locally. I used the tirerack.com as a reference because consumers make very interesting coments there about the tires. The Bridgestones had very good comments. ~Howard :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the sidewall lugs are more aggressive than the AWR's. Is there a difference in the sidewall plys between the two tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
