That might be about 15% more or <$100 difference... for IMO a much better tire. The Bridgestones should last too. At least more than A052's, but probably not quite 660 endurance level.
Now if they were $1,000 vs $700 for the sets, ok, get the 660's, save the money, and be done with it.
Here's my review after on the 660's. I'm not going to lie - I hated the 660's after about 100 runs. I felt like I had to keep using them to get my money's worth and kill off the tread, but they were terrible. I do state in the video that the 660's might be good for a novice/intermediate looking to learn, but the way the RE-71RS is lasting some people in our region, it's probably a better bet. Or just go to a Conti ECS and call it a day.

Hey I am subscribed to your channel and watched your video on RT660s when it came out. I understand for an experienced driver like you rt660 might feel like crap but I am pretty sure they are still infinitely better than factory Premacies I am running. If they can last me a long time that a pretty good deal for my money. And maybe by then I ll be good enough to get the Bridgestones and show some decent results.
Regarding the price, its kinda hard to pintpoint exactly what the price difference will be. And in Canada the prices are probably quite different from USA. But so far I did a bit of research and it seems RT660 are quite a bit cheaper. Who knows, sales happen. Of course if price difference is less than $50 for tire I'd get Bridgestones
