I'm getting 4 new Bridgestone RE760 non RF next week.

My indy guy has never steered me wrong.

He said that in his 29 years experience, the off brands will usually perform ok on an acura, but he has had more disappointments when used on bmws.

i've only used the falken 452 so that's why i voted for them.
from my experience, i haven't any problems with them what so ever.

for price and performance the Hankooks Ventus V12. Its the rears that will cost you the money and the Hankooks come in cheapest.

Since you capitalized PRICE I assume that is a key factor - the Generals offer the best value for the $$$$. For me? I think I am sticking with Michelin Pilots Sports. Thy're not cheap but damn they're good.

Thumbs down

Amongst the tires you polled I felt the Generals (I also have them on my 530xi) were the pick.

However, had you also identified Bridgestone or Michelin options and not had price as a criteria, the outcome or my recommendation would have been different.

I tried to modify the above list and add Potenza RE760 but couldn't. They a bit more expensive than the other four on the list but I will consider. Anyone knows how to add another part to the poll?

our most popular has been the falkens. price-wise and good quality, it would be between the Hankooks and Generals.
