FYI, my son just provided some hard feedback on the Bridgestone RE730s I just bought for him & his luscious, impeccable '91 Prelude SI.
Lest I be accused of being 'grand', be advised all that he just graduated from college (Mech Engineering) and this is the LAST thing I am paying for him -after 23 years. Well, at least for now. :o)
He was running 205/50 x 15 Toyo Proxes (+1 size) and after running these into the belts (literally, not figuratively) in went the new RE730s from Tire Rack.
Verdict: much softer riding than the Proxes, oodles more ultimate grip, less responsive/squirmier on initial turn-in. He is thrilled with the tires...seems that at their price -a bargain for what you get. When my SP2ks go, I know what I'm getting.
You guys were great, tires arrived at his house one day earlier than promised..all is well, many thanks
