    New tires / RE-750??

    Okay, this is the deal. I have decided to keep the Ronals for now and just buy tires for them. I am looking at Bridgestone RE-750s in 205/55-15. Can anyone tell me anything about these tires from personal experience or something close? I read the reviews at TireRack and they are rated pretty high. Any advice? And what do you guys ride on?

    Dig. The 750's are the 3rd highest rated tire by tirerack'[s surveys in the Ultra High Performance summer


    however, the BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDW 2's caught my eye, and earned the top score (by user survey) in that category, beating out the potenza on every category.



    Even if jordan does think the tread pattern is ghey


    EDIT: nevermind, no 15" fitment. Tara runs on potenza RE950's (the 750's cousin) and they are an awesome tire, with great tread life.

      After a quick search on TireRack it appears that they are not available in the size I need.

        750's own. I absoulutely love them. Very sticky, quiet, and good in the wet. I have them in 16" fitment (205/50).

          I've got 730's on the rearof my car I love them. There very nice in the rain also. If the 750's are anything as nice there great.

            I'm considering the 750s as my next tire.. anyone drive them in pouring rain? the yokohamas weren't as good as I expected at hydroplaning resistance (however the wet grip is great and the dry is phenominal).

                Do the rest of you not have tires? I am just curious as to what you guys ride on.

                  My bottle caps came with Eagle GW's and my TSW's have Toyo's. I'd wouldn't buy either of them agian.

                    which Toyo's? I have the FZ-4s and they have been pretty good tires. But I want to try something different.

                      Yeah, i've got the FZ-4's too. They feel worse than the Eagle GW's. Does anyone know about GW's? Are they good or something?

                          they had great hydroplaning resistance, but yeah they were a little slippery.. what do you expect from a high performance all season? :P

                            if your looking for an all out performance tire on the cheap... faken azenis is where its at... treadwear on them is a bitch tho but they are fairly cheap...

                            seems like every auto-xer around here runs em
