Got around 14000 miles from these tyres fitted to is200 lexus. Best benifit of this particular tyre is the large protection bead on the tyre wall making it difficult to scuff your alloy's. Aesthetics are also good as the protection bead gives the impression this tyre means business!! Go get one and grin like a goodun when you reach for the door handle! :-) Bridgestone website currently doesn't appear to acknowledge these tyres any longer and it looks like they have been replaced by RE050 which they hype as Premium Sport tyres. Of course most retailers have increased the price by a few pounds. I have had the RE050 on the front since Dec 06 and I haven't felt any less grip. Some corners shout out a new pair of boxers but these tyres just laugh them off!!
