Default Anyone w/16" whls running Bridgestoe RE750's?

My question is for a MY 03 with original wheels intended for only street driving. If you can take a go at it, what loss of wet and dry handling do these give compared to original S02's or other tires? Also, what rear size are you running, please?

Thanks!

I used the RE750s when I still used my ap1 wheels. I had 245/50/16's in the rear.

I liked them, WAY better wear than the s03s and s02s. Better wet handling than s03 and s02, and I guess I don't take my car 10/10ths, because I never passed the limit of the grip on any of the tires.

I just recently had to replace my rears, I now have 17s, and went with the RE750s again because I like them so much.

Better in the the wet than S02's. Nowhere close to S02's dry grip. They do last much longer than S02's.

If I was daily driving my car and wanted a decent performance tire I'd use them again.

I agree. They are longer wearing, better in the wet and maybe 8/10 of the S02 for performance. If you are not a real aggressive drive they would be an excellent tire.
If I can help let me know.

Agree with everyone above. I am running 205 front /245 rear. Much more confidence in wet conditions. Wear appears to be much improved over stock. Slower turn-in than SO-2, but more progressive. There is no dead spot with a centered steering wheel like the SO-2's.

If you are looking for something that is better in the wet and longer wear it is the tire I would recommend.
If I can help let me know.
