Default Got my baby some new shoes Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport

WOW What a difference it is going from the Goodyear Eagle run flats to the Potenza RE760 Sport tires. They are nice and soft and driving the car is so much smoother now I should have gotten away from the run flats years ago. Thanks to all that gave their advice on the difference between run flats and standard tires.

I've put 10K miles on mine in the last 2 years and have no complaints.

I have only about 600 on mine - curious to know if they'll get noisy when halfway worn...

Good move ditching the runflats - much smoother ride, better handling and less cost.

the s-04s get really noisy when wore. I have been happy with s-04s and re-11s but they dont ot last worth a darn, the 760 should last a decent amount, its got a harder rubber compound.
