What are the differences between the Protenza RE050 (OEM Tire) and the RE750? I have a MY04 with 13k miles and need to replace my rears soon.

Thanks!

 

Stick with 050. Since you only need rears.
050 is superior tire over 750. Although I use 750.

050 dry grip is far better than 750 and both tires are equally impressive in wet. 750 lasts longer than 050.

Thats about it.\

 

Thanks for the reply. I'm just having some difficulty locating the 050's, so it sounds like while the 750's aren't ideal, they are a viable alternative.

Thanks again!

 

There are other tires that have better dry grip, closer to the 050, than the 750s. The 750s are comparable to ES100s, which, while pretty good, isn't near the dry grip of 050s.

 

Thanks for all the information guys. This site is invaluable.
