Tire selection question... 850 1995

As a less expensive, but a superior choice of that of the "old" P-zeros, try the Bridgestones RE730's. I have used the S02's and they're awesome tires, but pricey. The wet, dry, tread wear, and price of the 730's are all favorable and comparable to the S-02’s. When comparing the tire to the S-02’s, I have pushed both tires to the limit and cannot tell the different in both wet and dry. With regards to the P-zero, the P-Zero is inferior from all aspects, including side-wall-tumors when hitting pot holes.

The only drawback of the 730’s is a slight road noise. To conclude, I felt the 730’s a truly the best tire for the money…despite some noise.

As previously suggested, take a look at tirerack.com for addition user feedback.
