The G009 was a very weak sidewalled tire, single-ply, and spec'd a lot better than it felt. I would go for the G019, but for less money I can get a grippier tire that will last nearly as long. I just don't have much faith in the bridgestone lineup, but the RE960 is a good tire if you want a high po all-season. It's worth the extra money for Bridgestone's top technology.
Bridgestone G109 grid?

+1 on the Exalto A/S, absolute best tire on my wife's Accord. Too bad the size for her Saab is now $180 each, yikes!
I've been interested in getting these for my car based on what I see on Tirerack. I had never seen one 'in person' so to speak. Well today I saw some G019s on a parked car and decided that the tread grooves are too large. They didn't look like the picture. I would think that they were sure to be noisy. Large open aggressive treads usually are. That's why I never got the G009s. Grooves were too large. G019s are more of the same.

I'm not sure one can draw that conclusion. I had plenty of tires with wide grooves that were not noisy.

THese are the quitest tires I have owned. My Acura came with Mich. MX4 from factory and then I got the g009 and now just bought the Grid 109. They really are great tires.

Just curious - those wouldn't have been Avon's would they?
They were Yokohama AVS dB 225/55R16.

Any Goodyear that I've gotten as an OEM I did NOT like. Any Goodyear I've bought that was one of their better tires I've had good luck with.
Unhappy: Eagle GA and Eagle LS
Happy: Eagle Aquatreads, Eagle HP, Eagle GT-HR

Well the Triple Treads are mounted, balanced, and have served well for 250 miles. They're sure quieter than the B/S Potenza 950s they replaced. 40k on a high performance tire to me is good service, though, so no complaints or unfair comparisons. My wife likes the "cushy" ride as she call it. We'll see how these do in the wet and snow.
BTW - I checked the Mich Exaltos for my Jetta and they look like a good candidate!
