It took me two months to decide on these tires (RE730's)! When they first came out is when I got interested. All of the specs (ratings, width, etc) seemed really good. The price was also great. So a couple of months past and the price went up, ratings went way high, and they were selling a lot of 'em. It was between the Firehawks and the RE's. I bought the RE730's and LOVE them. They hold like glue. With my old tires, that were 90% bald, my car would slide a little through turns. With the 730's, I dont slide an inch, and have discovered that I have a lot of body roll, and that I need springs (because the tires grip so well). At first I thought that the tires were not so great because in the turns the car wouldnt stay at an even stance (body-roll). But later realizing that the tires were gripping so well, I now know my car rolls like a plane. I wouldnt roll as much w/ the old tires because I would slide a little and that kept the stance flatter. Enough about that...
The tires grip excellent. They havea 300 AA A rating. Rain traction is AWESOME! Water dispersing capability is great.
Get them.
Heres a web site of some guy who has compared this tire to the SO2's, etc
