Bridgestone RE730s?

[Xlr8_10]

does anyone know anything about bridgestone re730s over a stock gt rim? i need new tires and a friend of mine was recommending them.

if those are no good then what might i look at? im looking for something a lil wider. right now i have re 93s

I had them put on a while ago. I thought they were pretty sticky but they got loud on the highway after a while, if that'll bother you you shouldn't get them. For me they lasted about the same mileage as the stock yokahamas did. I'm looking at getting the s0-3's soon.

i have them now actually. At first I was impressed with them.. especially over the stock yok's. It's true that they get loud over time at highway speeds.. but thats true with a lot of performance/sport tires.. comes with the territory. It's not terribly bad or anything tho.. especially cuz I'm usually blasting the system ;) Would I buy them again? No... why? Well, they're sticky.. but rock solid. They rattle my teeth out.. even the service guy at the dealership said that I had to get rid of those tires cuz they're like that. He suggested some tires.. but i forgot which ones.. damn.

thx guyz, youve been helpful. so sounds like theyre sticky n loud on the highway...

are the s0-3 the onez that always perform like new tires because of the way the rubber is compounded or something like that?

Yep the 0-3's are killer, that's what i'm running now and there's virtually no difference in traction wet or dry, and BTW the rubber is made for optimum traction for the life of the tire, I highly recommend them, 4000 miles and no real visible wear either!:thumbup:

RE730's are LOUD!!! If you've ever ridden in a pickup truck you get the idea. Ki9nd of a constant wah-wah-wah. All the time. Being in a Celica with 730's and then hopping back into mine with the stock tires, amazing difference.

what do the s0-3s go for? a lot id imagine.. but worth it rite?!

also, whats the widest i can go on a stock gt rim? well, widest and still practical.. thanks

[TonyC]

109 apiece on tirerack.com for 205/55/15 which should fit on the stock rim,BTW you're local bridgestone dealer should match that price, mine did
