Altimax vs Potenza?, Has anyone run both? I'm looking for feedback and will be leaving my GYTT soon. Looking for comps. in handling and milage.
                    (I am only interested in these two brands.)
If you can't be a good example: be a WARNING!!

i like the altimax better of the two......it seems to handle better, especially at slower speeds, and turnsl like going through a parking lot.  also seems to handle better in the curves.  just my opinion.

I've never heard anything bad from anyone who has run the Altimax. I've never heard anything bad about the GYTT either, just a little too flat bottomed for my likes.
 TJ has an awesome looking run flat, "Kumho SPT XRT". This thing looks great on his bike and he says it's the best handling CT he's tried. I just want a 60 series and the Kumho is only available in 55 series.
Thanks GOOSE
For those who may be interested in the Kumho...

And the old proven Altimax...

Potenza on the Rocket III.  They are very similar.  I like them both.  Never tried the others.  One thing I like about both of the Bridgestone's is that the sidewall is stiffer and I felt that if it lost air suddenly, I would stand a better chance of controlling the bike.  I did check out a lot of tires at Sears showroom before I bought the first one.
