Default Potenza RE070

hey all

i'm up for new tires. can some ppl point me in the right direction for best (value) place to get some RE070's. i'm sure someone else has done the shopping around in the past.
also how much you paid. it's been over 12 months since I got a price on them.

Hi

Got some last week for my Liberty wagon Bridgestone RE050A 87W they were $360 each, but well worth it, original fit still on most new Subaru's.

SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH.... but as you seem too bloody lazy to do that (just like most of the members on here).....



Falken RT615, better than the RE070, especially for road noise.

Call Tempe Tyres. $345 each for 18" delivered to your door. Will be cheaper for 17".

JWS also sell RE070's for $250 a pop off ex-jp cars. Not bad if you're a bit hard up.

it's not being lazy, it's called being efficient :P
I'll be going the RE070's thanks [camer183, WRXTASY] haven't had them before, bought the orig. STI rims and they had 215/45/17 G-III's on them.... now that they're low, i'll get something sticky... as for road noise, well, if I hear them over my exhaust, intake, and stereo then i still won't be concerned if they handle well, which I am sure they will.

Sethor, $330 is what I was quoted around a year ago, $307ea through some friends in the tire business.. obviously no price drop in 12 months, not to worry, it needs em, i'll get em.

Awesome tyre but be prepared to replace them every 17,500 - 20,000 kms!
