Since my Avons have tried to kill me on afew occations I've been reading up on Bridgestone Potenza RE720 along with the F1 GSD3's and overall the Potenza's come out on top.

Just like to know if anyone has had any experiences with them?

very good tyres, few of my mates have them, but I went for the PE2's due to the stiffer wall (3 wheels aint good on soft walls lol) and they are non directional as the manufacturer specifies they should be.

good tyres...but wear fast.

I'd rate them near the top

Really?

My mate has got nearly 2 years out of his RE720's and just about to swap fronts to back, have been a lot better than the GSD3's.

i got about 6k out of my front f1's... hehe, new set on front now. was gonna go for the 720's a while back and might try um in future, at the time tho the f1's was 5quid cheaper on mytyres, altho i think the 720's are slightly cheaper now.
