Great tire used for the every day commute, weekend B-road thrash and even on the track. I fitted a full set back in July 2018 and have only changed due to going for Cup 2's. These tires have proved to be very capable on track with astonishing good grip levels at the price point (well under other sport tires). 100% will buy these again!
Now running my second set on an '07 Civic Type R. IMO the perfect combination for fast road/light track use. Once warmed up, they offer excellent grip and feedback, while still being better in the wet than 'proper' track day tires, and even better in the wet than a lot of road tires. Still quiet enough for a daily driver, however they do tend to tramline a little on uneven surfaces (although a lot of this is due to suspension geo) . 9/10

Very, very good dry weather tire, if I only used the car in the summer then I would purchase again. Lethal in the wet, no grip in standing water and have little confidence in the cornering ability. Would not consider purchasing again.
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Bridgestone Potenza RE070? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
Potenza re070 . IMO these tires are brilliant for the money supplied and fitted was 175 for 2 from black circles . recently went to wales with a few of the lads an really tested them . I think although there a quality tire I don't think they are the best for any roads with layers of dust dirt or gravel but on clean roads there one of the best . wet weather is where the tire falls a little short . tends to slide at 65 to 70% of the limit so you may want to drive more leisurely if its teaming . I drive a 2006 sti so constant 4 WD helps . everyone always comments on the look of the tire which doesn't help with grip but nice to know I spose lol
This is stock STi tire and it is really good and also very cheap.
If you have a Subaru and use 17'' wheel don't even think about buying other tires because there is no better tire for the street. On the track you can get better performance only from competition tires. It's a shame you can't get 18'' size of this tire easily (at least in EU).
Have had them for one summer ~ 3.500km. Road grip is superb, reducing understeer. Have seen a trackday and prevented me from hitting the grass while attacking a corner too early. Very stiff side walls which transforms the way my car handles.
Wear is OK, expected to be worse.
Very noisy, and above 80 km/h in wet/rain you are playing with your life.
Excellent dry grip, especially on track if they are up to temperature. Wet grip average, worsens significally if close to wear markers. Noise and wear are average, ride is a bit harsh around town, as the walls are VERY stiff. Would defenately buy again.
Perfect balance between a track-day tire and an everyday tire. Gives tones of grip on the track and the road with very good feedback. Only bad news the noise they make on every day speeds.
I drive them an a Clio RS Cup.
Great tire. Nearly the complete Clio RS Forum drives this tire on the Clio, if they drive on the Nordschleife.

These tires come stock on the subaru impreza WRX STI.
I bought the car used, and wanted the orginal spec tires to go with it, instead of the fitted cheap nankang tires.
These tires litteraly transformes the car into a supercar in corners.
The have tons of grip, and give almost unbelievle G's through bends. I could have mistaken them for trackday tires like toyo R888, when it comes to dry grip.
It is also very easy to feel when you are approching the limit for grip, as the first understeer mildly before oversteering.
The ride is a bit harsh and stiff, but that is possible to live with.
The worst part of driving with these tires is the noise. They actually produce as much noise as my studded contnetal wintertires, when the winter tryes are driven on bare tarmac.
But the Re070 are all about preformance, not comfort.
I also think they would be a great combo for both daily and trackday driving.
I'm driving these on Norwegian roads. Norwegian roads are pretty poor, at least as bad as english country side roads.
They would probably be less noisy on smoother tarmac.
