Bridgestone Potenza RE720

the worst tires that I place in my car very expensive without being worthy of it in all areas

this is a good tire for dry conditions and on average for wet conditions. its a sporty tire for sporty cars. but its horrible in comfort

Sorry to say that it was a bad experience. I had a Toyo tire that came with my Mazda and those lasted more than a pair of brand new Bridgestone Potenzas. Seriously not even lasted a year, I had to fix them at least 3 or four times. Now I have to look for new tires as these are unusable for going to the highway.

Excepcional Tire.

I think this is the best tire ever created! ...and the most misunderstood.
Especially the one that was produced in Japan. Simply an amazing tire!
Phenomenal dry grip with excellent progressiveness and amazing performance
in wet roads. Never aquaplaned at any speeds! Even when the car started
to drift, it returned back very controllably. Cornering was like a train on
rails. Very stiff side-walls that translated into instant direction turning
and steer responsiveness. All this of course translates to fast tire wear.
They managed to create a stiff and at the same time fast wearing tire that
did not loose its elasticity!

Having said that, I think that Bridgestone made the biggest mistake when
they stopped producing the RE720. I have done more than 500.000 miles
with several tires and brands and I cannot find yet one that comes even
close to this tire. Some of them work ok in the beginning but their
performance deteriorates fast.

Now this tire is very much misunderstood by many people because they
were using it on lightweight cars and without proper warming up.

I have now ordered the Potenza Adrenalin RE002.
Lets hope its performance is similar to the RE720.

One of the best tires ever created. Production ceased a few years ago but I still have these on my 2.0 16v Tipo. 5 years old at the time of writing and no cracking. Feedback through the tire is amazing, and you can take them right up to the edge of grip with confidence. Even with spirited driving these have not worn much. Comfort could be a little better due to the Bridgestone's stiff sidewalls but it's a sacrifice I'll gladly take for their sometimes unbelievable grip.

discontinued tire?

Very good tire, little too sporty for me and my driving style(no confort, lasted less as DUNLOP OE tires).
Exeptional driving performance!
Quite expensive.

Vast improvement on the factory fitted tires. Potenzas work very well on the 888. Not the cheapest, but tires aren't somewhere to be cheap!

Very good grip in dry conditions. Outstanding cornering (excellent walls makes it almost impossible to bend these tires in an high G?s corner). Braking in dry could be better. The behaviour in wet conditions is acceptable, but not good enough for brilliant results. Goodyear is the brand to beat in this field... Soft rubber; The wear in this tires is something to consider. Not the best solution for someone that want?s to save money.

Fairly disappointed with wear. Started to wear on edge of tire after 20,000 miles.
Road noise was almost no existant & handling good. If they were more hard wearing, I would buy again.

Not as god as the S0-2 but not bad. They are nearly match them in the dry but are a bit off in the wet. Very comparable to the Eagle F1's.

Held together well on track.

Used these for road rallying. Excellent wet and dry grip, nicely progressive. Good grip on muddy/slimy roads too. Got through a set of fronts in about 5000 miles, but then they were being used competitively. Strong sidewalls were reassuring on white roads!
