  1. I happen to come across this: Dry gas - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_gas Dry gas. Drygas is an alcohol-based additive used in automobiles to prevent any water in the fuel from freezing, or to restore combustive power togasoline spoiled by water. ... The belief that dry gas is not needed because of the significant amount of ethanol is largely true because ethanol is a drying agent.
  2. If you are running a fuel that is say around 10% ethenol or higher, is dry gas gonna be of any benefit. Just saying.
  3. I guess my only comparison was with the original Bridgestones that came on the vehicle. They had great treadlife, but everything else was marginal at best. Have no way to compare the G009 with the Goodyear Triple except ratings though. Wet, and puddles at speed good. The snow test comes later this year, hope they are decent though. I would be happy with that.
  4. Mac, I have a 2002 Outback VDC since new, original raised white Bridgestone R92, or something tires wore well (58,000 miles) but I don't think they were as good overall as I would have liked, other than the miles. I did some research for about a year before replacing. It was between the Goodyear Triple Tread, and the Bridgestone G009. Well I ended up getting the G009's, since it seemed that quite a few reviews indicated that the Godyear Triples could generate some noise issues in some vehicles. I couldn't be happier in the choice I made. Pretty good price too, cool running. They give a nicer steering response. Even my wife can feel differance in handling. And THAT is saying alot. The wet handling is better, very secure through puddles. No idea in snow yet, but from ratings of tires the G009 was super high up in all catagories , so I am sure it will be an improvement over original tires in snow also. Check the reviews on the tire rack to judge for yourself.
