Bridgestone Potenza Re-71r for daily driver?

[terry_b]

I've been running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires on my 1LE for the last 5 years. I've not any issues with them, but I wanted to get a set of dedicated summers since I have dedicated winters. The rears are almost smooth in the middle and the fronts have plenty of tread depth but feel like they've just been temperature cycled too many times and ride really rough.

I snagged a set of Potenza Re-71r tires on closeout: at like $120 a tire, it was the deal I've been waiting for.

Am I going to regret this tire for a daily driver?

I am also thinking of putting the OEM 1LE 10 inch wheels in back as well so that I can rotate without unmounting tires - I have 2 extra 10" wheels that I bought to keep a spare tire on, but never had the need.

Will this help with tire wear? My rears usually last about half the fronts, which is likely just because it's a torquey RWD.

When I bought my 1LE, it had a new set of RE71Rs on it, awesome tires as long as it's not cold or heavy rain. In those cases, you will need to be more careful, but otherwise I thought they were fine for daily driving.
