Bridgestone Tires

Ok - I have a set of the RE050s on the 3er and have a set of Potenza G009s on a Passat and Turanza LH-S on an A4 --- all have noise issues related to the outer edge feathering (Heel - Toe) issue.
.
.
I monitor air pressure regularly and this still occurs. I was looking at a set of
RE960s for the Passat but hesitate due to past Bridgstone issues.

Is this common with Bridgstone & it dosen't appear to just be a direction tire thing.

Negative. I have had a number of Bridgestone tires and haven't found that problem with any of them on many different vehicles and fitments over the years on my own vehicles.

OK - Now that I have my numbers right (RE760). Gary & Others --- your opinion of the RE760.

I am thinking of purchasing & running them even in winter in northern Alabama on the PASSAT & A4. If I like them I would even consider putting them on the 328i -- anything is better than the RE050A due to the road noise & RFT issues.

Initial feedback on the new 760 has been very good. It will be a slight step down in steering response and dry grip from what you have but will be noticeably smoother and quieter with longer treadlife.
