If I'm not mistaken, Bridgestone *Turanza (not Potenza) ER33. Apparently people hate 'em.

Twenty or so years ago the Turanza was a great tire, smooth and quiet. Loved them on my ES. Then they went off the market (no longer available when I needed new tires).
Now they’re back, but apparently a totally different tire, except for the name.

Factory tires are actually terrible, the bridgestone turanza... Do yourself a favor and get cheaper, SIGNIFICANTLY better alternatives such as the continental DWS.. I've had experience with the Michelin Pilot A/S 3+ tires now updated with A/S 4 (which I believe to be the best tire ever). Both cheaper than that dogwater turanza tire. Has no traction in wet and snow... dry performance is ok.

I guess for me I can’t complain about snow or wet condition with the old tires is cause I’m from Toronto and have a second set of winter tires
