Default Bridgestone RE760 Sport Summer

Probably too early since they were just made available March 1 but has anyone heard any feedback on these? Treadwear rating is 340.

Good looking tire. Too new for any objective test results.

Just a quick follow-up....

I've had these on for about 7k miles and so far I'm happy with them. I haven't noticed any noise. Spirited driving handling is good and tracking is better than the stock tires. From what I can recall of the stock tires when new, I would place these as a significant improvement on each account.

I'm hoping the higher treadwear rating equates to a real world gain in longevity. I'll try to remember to report back after some more miles.

Damn I feel stupid for buying a set of the stockers for my rear... it was kind of an emergency though and I didn't have time to shop around. Spilt milk.

Next time I plan on getting these.

I take it most of you have been running the RE760 sport for about a year now. Any problems?

I'm considering getting a set for my Z. Any insight?

Same here. I just tired ordering them from a local Firestone and tirerack. Both said they're on back order. I imagine that other locations would tell me the same..

I couldn't wait so I ordered the Sumi HTR Z III.

Been a great tire. Have many coworkers here that use them with great results. Currently ranked #1 in our survey.

I work for Bridgestone. They are awsome. I have those on the front. 255/35r18 And S-04PP 285/35r18 on the rear. Both freaking awsome.

I wore RE050As to 25% in 12k and they sucked traction wise at that point (fronts still at 60% now at 15k) so I got the 760s and could not be happier.
