Looking to buy a new set of 195/50-15s RE750, etc.
After 18 months and one track event, my Toyo T1-S tires will need to be replaced soon. I have a brand new set of 195/50-15 S03s, but I'm saving those for track use. I was eyeing the Potenza RE750, but the relatively higher UTGQ rating (340 compared to RE730's 300) is a question mark. I only found 3 posts on the RE750, and they weren't very informative. Has anyone experienced the both the RE730 and RE750? I've been looking for a decent review comparing the two but haven't found anything. The RE730 is an excellent street tire and I want something in the RE730's performance range.
Another tire I've been eyeing is the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. Tread and specs look similar to T1-S.
I'm also open to other tire suggestions in 195/50-15 besides the ones listed below. The ones below are tires that I have previously had in 195/50-15. Another standout is the Kumho 711s at $37each!
Nitto NT450
Falken Ziex 502
Toyo Proxes FZ4
Bridgestone Potenza RE910
Bridgestone Potenza RE730
Toyo Proxes T1-S
Yokohama AVS ES100

They have good reviews on tires. You can read other customers opinions on the tires also.

Yeah, I read up a lot over there but the reviews don't seem that in-depth. Most of them are generalizations like "These tires are better" or "I like these tires."

Why are you looking at cheap street tires, you already have the best one, S-03, which is NOT that great of a track tire and you should instead be buying a set of Azenis, Victoracers, RA-1s, etc. for the track. Burn up cheaper R compounds and save the max perf for the street where you can take advantage of it, you'll be faster in both situations.

I have to get new wheels first as the S-03s won't mount on my wheels (99-00 Si wheels) for some strange reason. Firestone couldn't mount it, the two independent tire shops I took them to couldn't mount them, and the guys at the Buttonwillow track tire shop couldn't mount them either. I even had replacements sent in from Tire Rack and those wouldn't mount either. I'll do some research on those tires you suggested. The RA-1s look pretty interesting. Thanks!

Wrong equipment. Go to http://www.hunter.com , find a rep who can tell you what retailer has the TC360/3600 series mounters that can properly do it.

I've heard a LOIT of good things about the that Goodyear F1 plus, like its in BFG KDW territory...
Then again, I may be biased as I work for Goodyear (automotive products, not tires unforuntately).
