In Reply to: Disappointed with the RE730! posted by Jam on May 10, 2000 at 08:32:50:

: I ordered the new RE730 to replace my SP8080 on my M Coupe. I haven't driven in the rain yet, so I can't comment on that yet. The dry performance isn't that great, reason being that these tires are way too soft for my car, specially in the front. I noticed an improvement in the rear over the SPs, but that's probably because the old rears were in bad shape and I also went with 255 vs 245.

: As for the fronts (225), the car feels loose and not as responsive. I tried different pressure and that didn't help. At the autox the car was pushing too much, but my oversteer problem was gone.

: The SPs were much stiffer, specially the front ones, but when the rear wore out a little most of the grip was gone which caused more oversteer.

: Am I doing something wrong, or are those tires the wrong ones for my car?

: They are quiet tires on the road but squeal like pigs on concrete!

: Comments?
