Default Gary or others? opinions pls: Bridgestone RE760sport vs. Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2

I need new summer tires for my '01 TT coupe when the winter tires come off in a month or so. I've been running Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 for about 20+k miles and liked them. But looking for a bit more treadlife and a bit lower cost, the Bridgestone RE760sport caught my eye. Coming from my PE2, what am I likely to notice different if I switch to the RE760? <i>They're not yet listed on UHP summer survey results page, which is why I'm asking.</i>

TIA, ~john

BTW, car has standard suspension+stiffer rear sway, but otherwise is a daily-driver, no X-cross or track use. Environment=Chicago area

Default Link to a test of these exact two tires.

I don't personally feel that there is a dramatic difference between these two, and given the cost difference in many sizes the RE760 might be the way to go,but see the test for more details.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Ftests%2FtestDisplay.jsp %3Fttid%3D104">Test results</a></li></ul>
