Tire Suggestion 2002 360 Modena

I'm sure this topic has been discussed ad naseum, but any feedback would be appreciated. Was thinking about Bridgestone Potenza RE11.

Just something about putting a Japanese name tire on an Italian that doesn't feel right. Am I being crazy?

I took it to CEC and they suggested the Yokohamas.

I wanted Michelin but they did not have the fitment.

They have been great tires for me.

About them being Japanese - that is a bit silly.

Your logic seems to be flawed, DiMisa. Why not just go with the best tire for your car regardless of whether or not you think the name sounds good?

Not much logic being used here...just don't like the idea of a Japanese sounding/named tire on an Italian car.

I'm open to suggestions. However, I am not certain that Yokohama works for me.

The 360 is a tough car to find multiple options for a matching front and rear set. Did you know that Pirelli Sistema isn't a true matching set?

Anyone have any experience with the Potenza RE 11?
