Default Bridgestone potenza re750

I'm thinking about getting a set, does anyone have them or hear anything good or bad about them.
Thanks

while it's not going to let you set a new land speed record it's a pretty good all around tire ... smooth riding, low noise, good wet traction, decent wear ..... all in all a good compromise of performance and livability

I was looking at those tires too. How do they handle the curves?

Thanks

I had a set of RE730's on my old 92 vert and I really liked them. Quiet on the freeway and appeared to give excellent mileage. I sold the car to a friend when the tires had about 20K miles on them and now with 35K on the tires, they look no more than 50% worn.

I did do some autocrossing on them and a couple of track days. The tires seemed grippy with about 28psi for autocross and 30 for track days. They would squeal some on the track just before they would let go so it was a good warning.

I would certainly recommend them as a great street tire with enough performance capability for occasional hard driving.

BTW, got mine from Luke!!

I have them on my Diamante. Pretty noisy and very poor wet traction.

Certainly not worthy of being on a vette.
