Got the Tire Rack survey on the Bridgestone RE950. Generally, it seemed to
be liked, but didn't get a very good snow rating. For the heck of it, I
checked the survey results for their older all/season performance tire, the
RE92. Boy, survey results seem to show that everyone feels that the RE92
pretty much sucks across the board!!
I know that a/s tires are never the ultimate for snow, but it seems that
Bridgestones fare wore than many others.
