Default These TIRES are AMAZING, By far the best mod ive done yet!!!

BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RE750!!!

These tires are by far the best performance modification that I have done to my car yet!!!

If you are running on stock tires GET RID OF THEM. If you wanna increase your cars performance dramatically don't buy a cold air intake, springs, shocks, strutbar, ect.. BUY NEW TIRES, Potenza RE750!!

The only downside to these tires are that they are summer performance tires and need to be warmed up before the reach there optimum efficiency.

These tires out perform the OEM tires in EVERY aspect!! Cornering, dry traction, wet traction, Roll, ect... Oh and BTW not to mention the dramatic increase of steering response and grip on speeds excess of 100 MPH!! These tires have just raised the bar for my my integra performance wise.

I was originally planing on getting the Bridgestone Potenza pole-position s03's but the price exceeded my current buget. (aka, didn't have enough L00T) These tire are well worth it! Performance wise there are almost as good as the s03's and have an even better tire ware rating. For $98 each of TIRERACK.com The BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RE750 GETS 2 FAT from me.


Thanks for your time and any comments/suggestions are encouraged.

hm.. 340AA-A summer tires..

my yokohama avid h4's were 360AA pretty hard compound(all season tires).. warm em up and they had decent sticky traction until i wore em down to the wear bars(track/canyon'd em)... they lasted forever! the yok's had a 2 year warranty on em.. im guessing high performance tires don't get warranties.. lol..

I have the same tires, and I agree, they were a big step up from stock. that is until I put new adjustable shocks and lowering springs on my car. now they're just OK.

I used to have some bridgeston re710 kai's.... basically just like the re750's but older. I LOVED them. Just as mrmonk said, they perform great in every aspect.... and surprisingly they lasted a really really long time. I had them on my car for nearly 3 years (around 50k miles) before the inner edge was worn out from some neg camber.

I now have the yokohama avs es100's. They are good tires for the price, but hardly compare to the bridgestons. The es100's are narrower too... same size tire, but less contact patch because of the design. The bridgestones are definitely worth the extra $$... unfortunately I couldn't afford the extra $$.

The stock tires are such crap that it doesn't take much of a tire to outperform them.

i had those tires when i bought my teg. Pretty decent tires. Good balance of wet/road noise/ride comfort vs dry grip cornering. I still like my azenis much more though on dry.

The Dunlop SP Sport 9000 is Dunlop's Max Performance tire thanks to its "HydroMax" hydroplaning resistance capabilities in standing water. It is designed for the drivers of sports cars, coupes and sedans to provide performance and comfort in the dry, along with superior hydroplaning resistance in the wet.

On the outside, the SP Sport 9000 tire features a high silica content tread compound molded into a design that features substantial open grooves (44% groove - 56% rubber) in the center of the design to minimize hydroplaning, and directional high contact shoulder grooves (85% rubber - 15% groove) to enhance steering response and dry road cornering. On the inside, Jointless Bands (JLB) of nylon provide high speed capability while helping improve ride comfort and handling. The SP Sport 9000 construction provides light weight structural integrity, splice free reinforcement uniformity, and an even distribution of footprint pressure.
----------
$8 more (per tire) than the Potenza's. And hydroplaning resistance capabilities. Tough choice. They both are comparable in price/ratings.

of course the azenis are what like 200AA... we're talking hard compound performance tires that'll last an extra 20k miles.. not everyone goes thru canyons, road courses or autox events on a weekly basis..

performance tires in the majority of cases really arent needed because 75% of the drivers out there arent aggressive enough to use em properly.. i'd say 90$ is a deal.. they'll last ya a long time.. there's this fine line between performance and a long lasting tire... can't have both so u have to fine the line in the middle somewhere..

my spec 2's(300AA) lasted me like less than a year.. not even trackin it.. not that i have the money to replace em.. but i end up replacing tires yearly.. such a hassle.. sometimes i wish i had a separate set of race tires/rims then i'd definetly sport 320+ tread rating tire for daily use..

ive had these and currently have dunlop sp5000's

I think the dunlops outperforms it in every aspect--don't get me wrong the 750's are damn good but i think the sp5000's could be the best all-season tire ever made taht can peform on dry and wet (including decent snow traction)

I have to agree. I'm currently running the SP Sport A2's -- basically the SP5000 without the cool tread pattern -- and I am very impressed with their performance in ALL conditions.
