Default anymore reviews of the BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RE760 tires for the IS250?

I am looking to possibly replace my 18" front tires with these soon and eventually the backs when they wear down more. How is the wear and the noise on these? I hate how loud the BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RE050 stock tires are. Thanks for your help!

I'm also very happy with my purchase 6 months ago. It's a lot quieter than the the Potenza Re050. The handling is great, and it performs well in both wet and dry condition. You wont' be disappointed by the price either. After 6 months, the side is a little worn, but just that's normal wear and tear. I had 10,000 miles on it. The front should last another 25-30K or so. The tread on the rear held up nicely and practically new.

is anyone running these on the fronts and the re050's on the back still until they wear out? that is what i might do since i have lots of tread on the backs still. worried about safety though.

I am running on the RE760's in the front and the rear is my stock turanzas...it is not a safety issue...I am planning to go with a different set of tires because of the looks. I had to change out my fronts fast because of camber wear! But no problems now!

I got these tires just about a month ago, love them so far. They seem to be a lot quieter and a bit smoother than the RE050's. I think that considering the treadwear rating, brand, and especially the price you can't beat them!
