Looking to replace my stock tires...before I go deaf from all the noise these things are making right now...searched the site but can't find any info on the tires below...

Research seems to show that the Bridgestone RE 760 looks like a good alternative to the stocker RE050's.

Any opinions? Anyone buy these for their G yet?

I put on a TON of miles ~32K/year....and I switch to Blizzaks in the winter. So mileage and noise are probably my two most importnat criteria.

Any help/opinions would be appreciated!

 

They run as the 050's little brother. Very close performer to the Yokohama S-Drive whom they butt heads with. Great dry, not too loud, wet average, decent life. Great tire for someone who wants to drive the car every day mildly aggressively but with some practicality.

 

How many miles did you get out of the stockers?

 

These tires look like a great alternative to the stock tires. I am also interested in feedback, and whether a leased car returned with these tires would incur additional charges as they are not to the same performance standard as the stock tires.

Right now I have 38K on the car...figure I put about 6K on my Blizzaks over the winter so maybe 32K? They are riduculously noisy right now...can't stand it any more.

That's part of my concern...will these 760's end up being noisy in 30K too?

 

you got 32k miles out of stock tires? are these 19 inch sports ? or the 18s?

 

YUP....lots of highway...not a lot of smoky burnouts...

19 inch sports...

And based on some advice from Cy at TireRack I'm going to go 245-40-19 all around this time so i can rotate them...

 

That is pretty remarkable. I was unaware you could run all four tires the same size. Are you sure thats possible? Can anyone confirm that? It would make a difference.

 

That's what they told me....

Hey Neal....can you double confirm for us??????

 

in theory it should work. I know a lot of guys put 245/40 on front and 275/35 on the rear, if we know we can put them on front and they come that way in the rear,whats to stop us from running them on all four tires and rotating them?

 

In terms of geometry, you're fine running 245s all around as in our front and rear wheels can handle them. Cornering stability is a different story as I haven't tried it

 

Any of the sport summer tires will be noisy at 30K as most of them need replacing at that point.

 

I don't see why not. Don't non-sports come with all 4 tires being the same width?

 

^ they do, but the non-sports weren't designed to have stability when cornering lol
