In Reply to: Ron, thanks for this informative post. Question.. posted by (m) JohnRead on April 10, 2000 at 20:04:14:

: I'm running the B'stone SO2 Pole Positions, and they are a substantial upgrade to the ContiTouring CH95's that came on my '00 328i. I suspect when all is said and done, though, that I will be unsatisfied with tire wear on these super-grippy tires.

: Given the 300 treadwear rating of your Potenza and the AA handling, I wonder if they might be a less costly choice and still offer an improvement in handling over stock. Do you have any comparative comments on them vs the Pole Positions?

: John

Unless you are into racing and want the absolute best spec performance tire available I do not see how you could go wrong with the 730's. As I mentioned before I replaced the P Zero's that were on the car with the 730's and the only thing I have noticed is that the 730's are quieter. Like most things in life some folks have to have the "best" no matter if they need it or not. I believe that it is safe to say that UNLESS you are going to race the car in other than a straight line that the 730's will give you a good combination of performance and life. Tire Rack was going to test them last week so I expect a post from them shortly. My bet is that they will stack up very well as a price/performance leader.
