I run the RE730 in 205/55R16 on E0 wheels. I am very happy with them. Road noise isn't excessive (meaning I can't hear it over my exhaust), they are very predictable as far as breaking loose. They are slightly worse in wet handling compared to my last set (Firehawk SZ-50), but I was running a lot less powerful motor at that time. Still, it isn't too hard to break them loose in the wet if I try, even with the Quaife. I only have about 7000 miles on this set, so I can't comment on wear. They also have rim guards on the sidewall.
