Ive always enjoyed my Yokohama Sdrives in the past, and recently got a set of Star Specs and Im in love with the grip, but wanted a wide set for my daily set up, any input would be great!
i am very impressed with the re760s. they haven't seen any auto-x time but for the street they are prefect. quiet and 340 treadwear at a great price.
nichigo has logged some auto-x time in his set and he said they performed well. the tire pattern is similar to re11a as well. gl!

That's awesome! Thanks for the reply, lastly I'm looking for the most square sidewall on my 17x9.5, would you say they run wide or narrow? I know the ad08s run very wide, and star specs are pretty wide but idk about the potenza's....?

i have a slight stretch on my 10J rear. see pic below. i'd say they run wider than my ad08s.

RE11 and RE11A 255 are similar width to a Dunlop ZII.

good to know. considering re11s or zIIs after the ad08s need replacing.

ZII since you autox, for sure. If you wanted cushy and grippy daily driver tires I'd say go with the RE. The ZII outperforms the bridgestone just about everywhere other than comfort (although not by a whole lot)
