I've been looking at those as well...

What size are you running? How is the noise?

I need something that grips more!

The Ventus will have slightly more Winter grip as the compound is slightly more durable, but it is still a Summer tire, not ideally suited to Winter conditions.

When the car was new in the winter of 2009 the tires had good traction even into the single digit temps. That traction started to decrease in September 2010. Tread was still good on the old tires so the stickey compounds in the tires must have gone south. Maybe I should have kept them for doing a little drifting

It could be your mind playing tricks on you. When you got the car you were probably babying it a bit and as the spring/summer hit you started to push harder. Pretty much any summer tire with a tread wear rating under 200 doesn't drive worth a damn in the cold, in my experience anyway.

I'm a big fan of my Continental DWS Extreme Contact tires. They're worth every penny.

I think the Continental Extreme Contact DWS are great as well, and they were actually cheaper than other All-season Extreme Performance options in Sport sizes.

But I plan to get RE11 when my RE050 wear out for summer driving.

I ran Invo 315's on the back with 265's on the front for a while and the Invo has by far become one of my favorite tires. They feel great. I can't really tell you if the noise is bad or not because my car is really loud and I can't hear anything other than the radio and the exhaust lol.

Does anyone have an opinion on Gooryear Eagle F1 Asymmetric A/S vs Bridgestone Potenza RE 760's? I am looking for mileage as opposed to high speed rating at around $1,000 out the door. I have a 2010 roadster with sport package (19 inch Rays) and Bridgestone 050's. Thanks for your help
