Dont have those, and I know those are in the high performance summer tire category, but I did just get a stock-size set of Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position, which are in the ultra high performance all season category.
These tires are amazing. More wet traction than I care to try, and when its warm and dry I cant spin them going straight from a dig.
Hope that helps, dont know any details about your car or how its driven.

I'm looking for a tire that will last and have good all around capabilties. Not to worried about the drag strip because I have M/t streets for that. Dont care about noise and somewhat care about wet traction. Its almost always warm in Texas, and when its not I have a different car. I drive short trips mostly and do some cruising. Not alot of WOT but some.
well John, i havent sold these on any fbodies, or high torque applications. though on the g35's and 350z's i have recieved welcomed compliments at thier constant grip and smooth ride. i personally dont like the re960a/s though. askign a tire to last and have good all around capabilites isnt really possible, there is always a trade off. about how many miles wuld be a sufficient life for you? the 760's on a few of the first cars i've sold em on have close to 30k miles and still are above the wear bar.

I would think 20k would be pretty good for miles, from the reviews I have read and the test results they say its a very good all around tire. The manager of the store has them on her stock 4.6L Mustang, and says the are awesome. There is only one way to find out I guess.
Thanks to everyone for your input

I have these on my car, and I have to say I enjoy them. They hold the road excellent, good wet weather traction, relatively quiet, and good snow grip(IMO). After they are warmed up they simply hook. Bad for a rear end though
Only problem is I am only going to squeak about 20k out of mine, but even with that I would buy them again, and probably will.

I have the 760s in a 275 on the front of my 2000. These tires are great and hold the road really well. I have about 7k on them now and they are wearing really well and no noise. I don't know how well they hook on the rear but the will really hold you on a cloverleaf highway ramp.

I bought them when they first came out in March (275/40/17) - They were better than my goodyear's. They hook great for the street, and I have had no noise problem. I have put 15k on them. Only flaw was I thought they were a little pricy.
