I second the RE730s... 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Barry on  Sun Apr 8 01:51 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I just did the research on Tire Rack's web site and Discount Tire Direct, as well as reading some car mags to see what fell to the top of the tire heap.

First, I'm cheap. I'm not inclined to spend $250+ per tire. For a lot less I believe you can get really, really close in performance. I noted that the Tire Rack feedback/rating page rated the RE730 a very close 2nd to a MUCH more expensive tire.

For the money, I believe that the Bridgstone Potenza RE730 is a very good high performance tire for the street. It was rated significantly higher than other tires I have run on my Mustang that I was VERY pleased with, so I expect no surprises.

I had Tire Rack ship four 245/45/16 RE730s to my door for $470. I would imagine that you could get a much better price on Volvo sized tires.

Good luck,

Barry
