Which potenzas did you have?
In 185/55-15 at tirerack.com there are
Bridgestone potenza RE040 $130 each Ultra High Performance Summer tire
140 treadwear A traction V speed rated 17 lbs. 23.1" outer tire diameter
Load rating 81 (1019 lbs)
Usually you choose tires of at least 82 load rating.
The RE-040 gets mixed reviews from owners at tirerack.com
Should wear faster but give decent dry and wet performance.
55 series sidewalls are not too stiff, more for mix of performance with some comfort. This isn't a cheap tire.
