The Bridgestone Potenza RE750 is an Ultra High Performance summer tire that was developed for the drivers of sports cars and sporty coupes to provide traction on wet and dry roads. It uses Bridgestone's UNI-T network of technologies to improve three primary factors of the tire's performance: the bead, casing and tread compound.
The Potenza RE750, inspired by the Bridgestone Potenza racing tire, uses an ultra high performance tread compound to enhance dry traction while its directional tread pattern enhances wet traction. Together, the tread compound and tread design help sweep water away from between the tire's contact patch and the road to improve wet grip (earning the highest "AA" UTQG Traction Rating) and reducing the possibility of hydroplaning. The Potenza RE750 has been engineered to reduce road noise, especially when worn, by combining interconnected shoulder blocks with continuous circumferential ribs in the center of the tread design to help reduce the possibility of heel/toe and alternate block wear. Internally, the Potenza RE750's casing and twin steel belts deliver responsive handling and cornering stability. The steel belts are reinforced with spirally wound nylon to provide high speed durability while minimizing weight and maximizing ride qualities. The Potenza RE750 features Rim Guard rubber ridges on its lower sidewalls to function as bumpers to help protect wheels from curb damage.
Potenza RE750 tires feature subtle black letter styling and will be available in 60-, 55-, 50-, 45-, 40 and 35-series; W-speed rated sizes for 15" to 20" wheel diameters.

Pros:
Excellent in wet or dry, low NHV, excellent wear
Cons:
none
This is the best street tire I've ever used. The price seems to have come down. I've used these since they began as the RE070, to the RE090 (i think) , to the RE730, to the RE750.
OK, straight out: OH MY GOD THESE ARE AWESOME IN HEAVY WATER/RAIN! No performance + comfort tire I've ever driven on handle water, even deep puddles like these. On the dry, I need to do more aggressive testing, but in spirit daily driving they've always been awesome on front wheel or all wheel drivetrains.
The best part is they handle so amazingly well while giving a ride that is surprisingly comfortable and has minimal noise and vibration transfer.
I HIGHLY recommend these tires.

Pros:
Grip, Looks, Grip, Grip, and Grip...
Cons:
Tire wear, Price
I had the RE730's. All I can say is WOW! I second everything above, this tire grips amazingly! I know that the 730's had the same traction rating as the S02's but with better wear (however tire wear was my biggest issue with these tires... they lasted less then a year under mostly normal driving conditions). I would definitely HIGHLY reccoment these tires for someone looking to drastically increase the grip of their car

Pros:
Great tread pattern, lowered noise,big improvment in handling
Cons:
I have run many tires on performance vehicles, S02, P-zeros, Yokohama A032R, Hoosier, Michelin Pilots... and this tire ranks right up there. I actually like this tire better than the S03 on the WRX.

Pros:
grip, low noise, predictable and progressive breakaway
Cons:
Probably not super great on the track
This is the best tire i have ever had. Looks good, really good wear, and AWESOME on rainy days. Really good and smooth on dry days. I bet if you are skilled and respect lower traction situations that this would be the best tire for all you guys that want the Falken Azenis Sports, but know that you would end up over a curb in the weather that you have to drive in daily. If you live in So Cal... don\'t bother. If you live in Kansas or New York... this would be a good bet.

Pros:
Great Traction...LONG LIFE
Cons:
Like you read above...these are great tires.
The HUGE BONUS is that they have a 340 wear rating which means they last a really long time.
So you get awesome traction and great wear...what else do you want for $150 a tire?

Pros:
Quiet, smooth ride...grippy in wet and dry...Rim Saver!!!
Cons:
none
Very nice tires! This is my third set...
1. Potenza RE070 stock STI...Noisy and very rough.
2. Falken ST-115...Nice, quiet, and grippy...got 20k miles on them.
I liked the Falkens but heard too many good things about the RE750 not to try them...and they are all true.
I also like the Rim Saver feature of this tire...it will help against curb rashes...
Highly recommended...
