JDM SVX BBS rims: Which tires?
Hi,
well, I just got my JDM SVX BBS rims, and I'm wondering what types to put on them. I've been aiming to get the modern version of the original Bridgestone Potenza all-season (as far as I know, this was the original SVX tire), but wondering if anybody has any other input here? Cheers! Ian.

A Subaru mechanic who's done virtually all the work on my car told me that the better tyres to use with the SVX suspension should have a more rounded shoulder tread as opposed to a squared edge tread. The squared edge will wear prematurely. I chose Vredestein ULTRAC SATIN last time round. They seem to fit the bill and are also signed by Giugiaro which is fun since that is the car's designer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X5nkv0o7rM https://www.quattrotires.com/tires/v...SATIN%20/22422 (Cdn web site)

Not the best views, but there a few shots of the Bridgestone RE95 Potenza on this old add for an SVX.
