stock yoka's better than the stock potenzas?

I finally got my car today and when I went to sign the papers, I noticed it had Yokahama tires instead of Potenzas. I thought Potenzas were the default stock tires, but I guess not.

Are these Yoka's any better (or worse) than the Potenzas?

Yokohamas are default now. I think they gave up on the Potenzas and I do believe the Yokos are a bit better.

I saw Potenza's all over the RS2's however in Houston.

So it may depend where you go.

Yes, we are still talking about this. As for you, please use proper grammar.

"please you the search" does not make any sense.

Yokohama is typically a better tire but it all depends on the model

Its ok. We're all decent people here. Some people just get irritated by some things and some dont so just ignore any possibly negative comments towards you.

Anyways, the Yokohamas are a little better than the Potenzas but even the RE92's arent as bad as a lot of people say. I guess some people expect the tC to come with high performance tires.

Ok, so I'm not the only one who got the Yokohama S32A's on the tC. The dealership tho had told me they had a deal with Bridgestone and do not remember having installed the yoko's, every other tC I had seen with stock tires either had the RE92's or Kumho Ecsta... IMO, the S32A's handle alot better than the RE92, anyone else have an opinion on that? I know alot of ppl don't like the RE92...( o and off-topic, I'm looking to get tires just for when I feel like driving hard and aggressive, anyone have suggestions, I've done all my research on tirerack.com but still have no idea which to get)
