Almost exactly one year ago I got a pair of 235/45/17 bridgestone potenza GIII's.They were fine at first but when i swapped them onto the front with the worn 255/40/17's on the back. it felt terrible.Felt very vauge.....Today had to replace the rears,inside edge had worn through to the steel!,and the inside edge was almost chamfered at 45 degrees!!!!.What a difference,the vague feeling has gone completely!Turn in seems slower.Not sure if it is more understeer but definetly turns in slower.Tyre guy says PO must have run the tyres for some time with poor alignment.Middle tread was fine edges esp inside were gone.Matched tyres rule!!!!
