Anyone have any experience with these "Ultra High Performance" All Season tires which are currently ranked #1 by TireRack? I'm currently at 24,000 miles on my Conti Extreme Contacts with about 4/32" of tread left. The Conti's have been very nice but I'm serioulsy considering the Bridgestones. Downside is price which appears to run about $45 more per tire in the 245/45/18 size.

were like racing slicks to me, but everyone is different in their driving. I'd sell mine, as they came off the car the first week I had it...they don't look to have much wear on them...the hard part would be the sitting in my barn for two plus years.

I run Bridgestone SO-3 Pole Positions (which I believe the RE960 replaced) on my Porsche 993 Targa and absolutely love them! Of course, I live in Florida, so "all season" to me is not the same as it is to many on this forum...

Best,

used them really for a late spring to late fall tire. (Not in the winter) Once past a few inches of snow I didn't like them and would put my dedicated snow tires on...(Winter M3's)

As far as summer/rain driving the RE960's were just fine. I don't think these replaced the S03's as stated by another poster - the S03's are/were a sticky excellent summer only tire. The tread wear rating is really high on the RE960 so don't expct it to hold the road like a nice gummy high performance summer tire...but over all should last a long time and gets the job done. Comparing the S03's I had before these RE960's - I noticed that the RE960 seems to have a narrower contact patch. Not sure why as both tires were 245/45/18's - the RE960's were not as wide (which I don't like)...

Hope that helps...expensive.
