Default Comparing Bridgestone RE750 with

According to test results from Tirerack.com, RE750 is not better than Yokohama ES100 in overall real world ratings and dry test track. But RE750 is better than ES100 on wet test track.

The other tire that I am thinking about buying is Kumho SPT. It is better than ES100 in all overall tests: real world, dry and wet test tracks. The same car, BMW 339ci, was used in both tests.

If these tests can be trusted, Kumho SPT is better buy than RE750, given that it is cheaper and tread life is about the same.

I think if Tirerack can conduct a test of these tires will be best: RE750, Kumho SPT and Fuzion ZRi.

Jim, what do you think ?

I have driven all of them and bought the RE750. The ride comfort and wet traction have been excellent. When I took them off to put my snow tires on this year they still looked like new after two years. I would say the most similare tire to the RE750 would be the Avon Tech M500. Not quite as long of tread life but they are priced better and they have the 245/45R16 for the rear. The Fuzion is more of an entry level tire similar to the Kumho 712 but a little better handling than the 712.
If I can help let me know.

I agree. Bridgestones are the way to go.
