Potenza RE730, any reviews ??
^^
Bridgestone Potenza RE730
I am looking to buy 2 from a guy on A-TL. I can't find them on tirerack.com or on Bridgestone's website. I wondered if any of you have had/have these and what did/do you think of them ?
Dry traction, wet traction, ect.
Thanks

They are no longer manufactured.
I had a set and they are super-stiff, super-sticky and wear out super-fast. Also, the road noise gets pretty bad about half-way through their lifespan.
I got a little over 20k out of them, although part of that was due to the slight camber issue I have had ever since getting my springs. I would estimate the max you could ever get out of a set would be 25-29k miles.
Overall, though, for what they are, they were pretty good tires. They are very sticky and are very good in the rain.
Since then I have run on Kumho Ecstas and now on Kumho MXs and the Potenzas were very similar to the MXs I have on now.
The tread pattern on the Potenzas is just awesome looking though.

I had these on for 32k before changing to the new re750's.. They were ok but the 750's are better. they did get noisey and stiff for the last three k miles,, if your comparing then to the stock tire the're like night and day better in the wet and the dry,,

4 new 750's
the reinforced sidewalling helps bodyroll in corners that much more.
