Potenza's are really grippy and lasted well, but I thought the ride was choppy and they were noisy as f00k.

Ran them for a year - didn't like them.

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Potenzas on mine.
