: I am seriously considering the Bridgestone Potenza RE730 tires, and when I look at the Tire Rack site, they are very highly rated, BUT, in the category of "Would you buy again" the rating is well below other lower performance rated brands. It may be due to the fact that since the tire is relatively new, very few reports have been made on it. In any event, I would appreciate advice from anyone on this subject. My car is a stock '97 540iA that NEVER sees snow, ice, or slush - I live on the west coast of Florida.

I live in Florida too and went with the 730s. If you drive like I do (enjoy every mile) I wouldn't recommend them for your car, it's too heavy. However, they are good tires for "normal" driving. See link below.
