heres a question about the system bridgeston uses to name their tires. is there one? i really love bridgstone tires and all, but sometimes i see the name of a tire and i dont know if its good or bad untill i drive on it. that prob the way it should be but i would like to know a little beforehand. heres the situation. i have a lot of experience with re040's, re910's, re950's, re92's, eager's, and a few others. once apon a time i said that any potenza is da bomb tire. then i met the re92. on a big a33 maxima with 225s they are ok. not the best but good enough. on a little sentra with skinnier re92's they suck(loud, rough, not sticky). i have also heard bad things about the re010. so whats the deal? i have heard a lot of good things about the re750 but have no experience with them. i checked bridgestones website and found very little useful info. they didnt write up much of a difference between the 750 and the 950. of course i know about the s02 and s03. thats a different story altogether. anyone know anything about this?

RE92s come standard on a number of cars (WRX's, Protege's, etc.) and they are fairly middle of the road in terms of performance IMO.

Honestly, if you'd want a good budget performance Potenza look into the RE730's.

oh, im not looking. i just want to know about their nomenclature system if there is one. by the way i love the 950 for cheap performance. is the 730 much different from the 950?
