I was curious to know if any 3rd gen owners have run the bridgestone RE760 on their cars. My last set were the RE960 and I loved them but with the new wheels I decided to try the 760. I was told that they would be quieter than the 960 and have better handling. Well they handled better especially in taking corners but seem to be louder. I am curious to know if some of that can be attributed to the wider wheels? I was 8.5 all around b4 and know am staggered.
Hey Ron, I to noticed a bit more noise when I changed wheels and tires, I do think it is because of the wider tires more of a contact patch on the road, that being said running 295's in the rear that's a lot of rubber on the ground! Love those wheels on your car!

Thanks Mike. I tend to agree with you there. I did end up changing back to the RE960 (bridgestone has a 30 day return/exchange policy) and I have to say the ride comfort is better and slightly less road noise than the RE760. RE960 FTW........
All seasons are always more quiet and comfortable. They also usually have less grip. Since we aren't racing, I do the all season thing cause I value quiet.

Totally agree but the gentleman at DT told me the RE760 would be quieter plus I would get better handling since its a Sport tire. Tire racks rating for both was equal in noise and comfort but after that first drive I could hear and feel the difference.......got RE960 put back on and loving it again
