Does anyoen ahve experience with these tires?
 
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport


Maybe I should have asked first, because I already ordered them. But I was wondering if anyone else had tried them.

Leave a review once you try them :)

I have had some experience with these, but not on the 86. I put a set on an MS3 I had prior to the FRS. I can't speak to the wear properties as I did not have them long enough. Dry handling was decent, turn in good, but I think they had a tendency toward understeer during hard cornering. More so than the Toyo's I had on the car previously. Wet grip was good for a summer tire, and we have lots of experience with wet driving here in the NW. The tires were quiet and ride was good. If you're looking for a good all around tire for daily driving you could do a lot worse. If you're looking for the ultimate in grip and handling there are better choices.

i havent owned a set of those, but one of my previous coworkers got it for his e30. he said they were pretty good for the price... not amazingly good, but definitely not shitty either.

Tirerack tested them and they're near the top of their class:

I have them on my BRZ at the moment. Good value for money IMO, but questionable in the wet.

I had them maybe 10 years ago when they were called re750 and sold in 15'', for my 240sx. This is probably useless info as they change the compound every year, but for what it's worth, the dry traction was good, wet traction was excellent, sharp turn in, quiet, with good tread life (3-4 years at about 30k). I bought them twice more.

I almost went with Michelin Pilot Sports, but wasn't happy with the tread wear. Michelins are grippier I hear.

I live in the desert, so we don't sweat wet weather performance much here.

I have them on my car. They are really great, went to the track with them and improved my time by 4 seconds from the stock tires. (I'm sure more experience drivers could do better) I did get some cold tearing (over inflated i think) but they seem ok. Had them for about 5 months maybe 3k miles on them and they look new other then the cold tearing with which happened at the track and only on the front tires. I would buy them again for the price and the performance you get out of them.

Had em on my SLK350 and they performed fine. Dry conditions is optimal, wet conditions is only okay. Quiet tires in comparison to the Primacys, but the wear being a high performance summer tire is fairly quick depending on your driving style. Overall good bargain/performance tire.
