I bought P950's for both my 89CDT, and my fathers 93CDT. What I have found is that they are a nice match on the 89 car with 2.0 liter, no DI. However, on my father's car with the 2.3L the feeling can become less than confident during high-speed cornering and extremely high-speed highway driving, rapid takeoffs, etc. On my slower car they feel very confident especially in the rain and up to 100mph in general. However, I will not be purchasing any H-rated tire again due to poor cornering performance in general. How much are the Potenza RE730's on TR, they are Z-rated (and maybe not big bucks) I think? By the way, the 950's are very well liked by my father compared to whatever was on the car, his driving style is 'normal', so YMMV.

P.S. They are 205-55-15's in both cases. AND, the 950's completely suck in the snow, despite what some on Tirerack say. Scary above 30mph.
