Default potenza re760

stumbled across this tire purely by accident and since its the same price as the hankook v12 I thought I would inquire for more info. I think the tire "visually" looks appealing but if its gonna cause me to spin out the moment i try and take a 25mph turn at 40mph i will look elsewhere. I am looking for a "daily" tire that I can still drive spirited with.

I had 760s on my S2k when I bought it, and I think they're great for a daily. They stick when you need them to, and break loose progressively when you're having having fun with a U-turn or doing donuts. They were sometimes frustrating when I autocrossed on them, but they were at the end of their life and were never really track tires to begin with. So yeah, I think they're a good choice for daily use at that price.

Great daily tire. Two of my buddies have this tire and love them. I had a chance to drive an s2000 w/ 760s on the dragon and they weren't bad. I will say, stars specs make 760s look like all seasons though

anyone think the hankook v12 would be better??? tons of people seem to run those ones but when i drive my girlfriends MINI Cooper i tend to get the tires to squeal easily when going through mountain roads and it kinda makes me think twice about them for the S2k, i dont know if its just the nature of the car they are on....not sure you can really compare the same tire characteristics on rwd/fwd/awd
