Default Buying new tires for daily driver

I'm considering the Potenza RE750 for my next set of tires.

I have narrowed my other possible choices down to a couple of the more common tires I see people use on this board.

I am currently running 712's but I put them on the option list to see how they compare to the rest.These are from Tire Rack surveys.

Heres what I have.

<U>Model~~~Cost~Dry~Wet~Hydro~Cornering~Steering~R ide~Noise~Wear</U>
RE750~~ $95~~ 8.9 ~ 8.5 ~ 8.4 ~~~ 8.6 ~~~ 8.7 ~~ 8.2 ~ 7.9 ~~ 8.2
S03~~~ $133~ 9.3 ~ 8.8 ~ 8.6 ~~~ 9.0 ~~~ 8.9 ~~ 7.8 ~ 7.7 ~~ 6.7
ES100~ $75~~ 8.7 ~ 7.9 ~ 7.9 ~~~ 8.4 ~~~ 8.4 ~~ 7.6 ~ 7.2 ~~ 6.8
712~~~ $60~~ 8.4 ~ 7.8 ~ 7.8 ~~~ 8.1 ~~~ 8.1 ~~ 7.4 ~ 7.4 ~~ 7.2

The 750's seem to fare pretty well compared to the other tires and the price is "so so" compared to the es's and 712's.

I'd go with the 750s.

Very nice tire, good in the rain and great dry grip.

You should be able to get a decent price on them as they've been around for a while.

Thanks for your input. I think the 750's will be a nice change from the 712's.

I really haven't seen many posts about the 750's. I searched and only found a few.
