Eddie: What are the differences between the Potenza RE730's and RE750's?.....more
I'm looking for a semi-bargain max performance summer only tire. I had RE730 gen 1's on my car, which were great til I took them to the track and chunked the tread blocks all on the edges.
I'm looking for a replacement for the RE730's now for my summer tires. I'm considering the Kumho MX and the RE730's and I saw the new RE750's. What's the deal with the 750's? Also, is there any widespread availability for 225/45 16s? I've checked the site, and it doesn't bode well.
TIA

Re: RE750's
<center><img src="http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/bridgestone/bs_potenza_re750.jpg"></center><p>They are a brand new tire replacing the RE730s. basically performance willbe similar with newer compound enhancements that will give a slightly higher edge of grip & a bit newer wet traction technology as well. We should be doing testing in the near future on them, as spring tire driving will be kicking off shortly 
It uses Bridgestone's UNI-T network of technologies to improve three primary factors of the tire's performance: the bead, casing and tread compound.
The Potenza RE750, inspired by the Bridgestone Potenza racing tire, uses an ultra high performance tread compound to enhance dry traction while its directional tread pattern enhances wet traction. Together, the tread compound and tread design help sweep water away from between the tire's contact patch and the road to improve wet grip (earning the highest "AA" UTQG Traction Rating) and reducing the possibility of hydroplaning. The Potenza RE750 has been engineered to reduce road noise, especially when worn, by combining interconnected shoulder blocks with continuous circumferential ribs in the center of the tread design to help reduce the possibility of heel/toe and alternate block wear. Internally, the Potenza RE750's casing and twin steel belts deliver responsive handling and cornering stability. The steel belts are reinforced with spirally wound nylon to provide high speed durability while minimizing weight and maximizing ride qualities. The Potenza RE750 features Rim Guard rubber ridges on its lower sidewalls to function as bumpers to help protect wheels from curb damage.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Ftires.jsp%3FtireMak e%3DBridgestone%26amp%3BtireModel%3DPotenza%2BRE75 0">RE750s</a></li></ul>
