I have a Firestone/Bridgestone coupon for 50% off the sugested retail price on a set of rubber. I have found that the RE910's in 225 50 R16 are fairly suitable for what I need. Unless of course you guies think I should go for the RE930's or RE950's. State your thoughts.
Thanks

I bought the 910's. They are very quite, excellent in the rain, and comfortable. They are a little bit squirmy when pushed hard. but track strait. I run about 36-37psi and they work fine. If I had the extra money,i would have gotten the 950's (they only had 2 in stock) but you should be happy with the all around performance. Nice tread design too.

I just swa[[ed my RE940's for the RE 71's both an excellent tire the 940 is a UHPAS and the 71 is a UHP tire - basicly I dropped the all weather capability- (strange as I live in utah and its nearing fall-??) but at 66 each you cant beat the price (940's 123 each)

I'm looking at $125 CAN for the 910's and $160 for the 950's. I think that I might go for the 950's but they are out of stock.

Tire rack has them (950's) for $93 per tire. Not sure if you'll save any after shipping though..

I'm getting the 950's tommorrow. I got them at a good price, based on the prices you are giving. And they have it in stock!! They are giving it to me for $87 each, mounted and balanced. I'm from NY. Hope it's as good as everyone says. :p

I just put the 950's on my car and I love them. They seem to hug the road and not want to let go, even when the road is wet. I ended up paying $500 out the door for the tires, mounting, balancing, and alignment since it was really out of whack

Thanks for posting guys. I ended up going with the 910's for cost and availablity. I sure did like those 950's though.

how much did you end up paying for everything? I was going to go with the 910's but got the 950's for $6/tire more, so I decided to go for it
