Default Do any of you ITR owners have RE730's in 205/50R15?

just a curious question.

How do you guys feel about them?
I guess there are A LOT of Azenis fans here. just curious.

Just a little background....I have a Si, and i've recommended these tires to quite a few Si owner's. I do believe, if I had a ITR, i would have these tires as well. Although, I would like to have another tire for track/auto-x use.

Yup.

They're good. Comprable to the good traits of the 195/55 RE010.

I can't give you a direct comparo with Falkens -never had 'em.

I really like my Dunlop W-10's......they are 195/55...but are definately wider than the stock RE10's......sticky too! i really like them...just some food for the thought...

i had the re730s and absolutey loved them. they have lots of grip, okay rain tire, they have nice stiff side walls

i have recently bought the kumhos, they are nice as well, a hell of alot quiter, probably not quite as much grip.
for everyday driving both tires are nice

the azenis will not last long at all. i put maybe 8 months on my 730s. the azenis would probably be gone in 4-5 months.
i dont like wasting money that way

do you ever autocross, or roadrace?
if so then get the azenis, otherwise get the re730s

btw, i had them in 205-50-15

Don't own an R, but do have the RE730's in 205/50/15. If you go to http://www.tirerack.com and click on the customer reviews section you should get a good idea of what to expect from the tire. Being that I did my homework on them, the general consensus is that they grip very well, have very stiff sidewalls, and have, what I would call, the perfect blend of performance and durability. One negative that almost everyone says is that after about 10k miles, they begin to sound like snow tires, but despite this fact, everyone said they would buy them again.

I have them on my Si and they are pretty damn good for having them for about 1yr and over 10k miles on them...I would get them but thats your decision, not mine..

He's talking about the 730 and I have then too in my ride. Plus, they last longer than OEM tires and IMHO their better than stock. I wonder, who convinced me on buying my own 730's. Thanks Fuminsho for the great test drive on the 730s.

RE-730

Plus- It's all what your planning to do with the car. X-Cross, Track, or Street tires.

Why such a high side-wall ? 55? Is that a typo?

I had them on my GSR. They were about the same as my RE010s in the dry and a little better in the wet. I would go with the S03's though they are heavily discounted at the rack right now. 195-50 I believe.

i'm running RE 730 in 205/50/15, great tires, lot of grip even in wet, but you might want to try S03 if you're to goin' all-out in streets though.

believe it or not:

205/55-15's
-speedo is right on the money
-slightly less rotation of tire, meaning over all less miles put on the odometer with the same car running with 205/50-15's
-Advantage?: maybe a slightly better 60ft time?? But then again why would you want to drag race your ITR when it's OH soooo much more fun doing Auto X and road racing.....

Just got 4 205/50/15 on my GSR. Excellent grip in dry and wet(rained today, so i can test! ) Not too many road noice, way better than the OEM tires. Go get the 205/50/15, it really looks good and same sz as 195/55/15.

I had RE 730 on my R before, I don't like that when compare to 010s. I think 010 has more grip on dry. I like 010 much better. I just feel that they aren't even close to 010 in term of grip. But they are quite. I had them on my R for 3 months, then I decided to go for 032R. And yeah, 032R
