Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Bridgestone potenza re-92 p215-60r16 m&s. this tire has been mistakenly classified as a mud & snow tire. in my 35 years of driving, i have never driven on such a dangerous tire that was classified m&s. any snow whatsoever makes the vehicle(2004 toyota solara se) extremely difficult to control safely. i have no problem with the tire being used solely as a non-winter tire, but for nhtsa to allow the m&s designation on this tire is tantamount to gross negligence. if you think that i am alone in my observation on this tire, then please see website 1010tires.com and read the numerous customer reviews about how dangerous these tires are in snow. i respectfully ask you to please investigate this tire classification.*ak
