Bridgestone Question

Anyone out there running Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport's (205/45-17 specifically)? I want to make the switch from stock run-flats and I am looking to marry them up to some Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2's

Not running, but have heard good things. Not especially sticky, but very good grip considering how long they wear. Kind of pricey, though. If you can go 215 and don't need long tread life, there is a SMOKING closeout deal at Tire Rack on Hankook RS-2s at $75 each.

I have them. Pretty decent tire for street use. A bit softer sidewall than the RFT's but that means better ride comfort. Yes, you do lose some of the quick turn in but it's not terrible and easy to get used to. I've had them for about 3k miles and am happy with them as a daily driver tire however the wet traction is not that great after you put some miles on them but this must be due to the harder compound as they don't wear out very fast. I can hardly notice any difference in the thread depth after 3000k miles of hard cornering.

Tazio and Rally...thanks for the feedback! The town that I live in does not have the best of roads and I think if I go for a stickier tire I will just use them up faster.
