Bridgestone Potenza Rocks!
I pulled a Metzeler ME880 off the rear of my 1300C today and replaced it with a Bridgestone Potenza RE960A/S 205/65/15 and all I can say is WOW! What a difference! This tire is a big winner and really put the Metz to shame.
I had to make one air pressure adjustment and it was dialed perfect. I started with 40psi and I could feel the corner of the tire in lower speed turns which I don't like so down to 32psi and no more corner and what a ride, like riding on air, falls in and out of turns effortlessly and sticks like glue. No wobble at any speed at any pressure.
The tire has a really nicely rounded shoulder and when mounted on a 3.5" 1300 rim it rounds out even more nicely:

Big welcome to you also. Keep in mind that a CT has some molding on it, so be
careful the first 100's.
Tire looks great, enjoy it as well as the cookies.
