suppose to be a pretty good tire. RE930 is specially made for manufacters or Costco. i forget. its not a regular tire Bridgestone makes. RE950 suppose to be simlar to the RE730, better then 930. Our shop will prolly be having 50% off as promotion on the RE950 and S0-3. Thats definetely a tire id like to try.

Um, I have the 930s. I dont think they are an off brand tire. Mine are Bridgestone Potenza RE930. They are great.

their not off brand their still made by Bridgestone. Those specialty numbers are specially made for say Honda, or Ford. Those arent a regular tire we would carry. Say you walked into our store looking for that EXCAT RE930 tire, we wouldnt have it, we would prolly have the RE910 which is the closest in design i think...

TireRack carries all types of tires. The RE930 is NOT a normal tire we would carry, but its still made by BRIDESTONE. RE910 is. I dont want to argue about something so small....forget it

the RE950's were shipped to our shop today. Sorta impressed but not really

they are here to eventually replace the RE910. Its an H rated tire. Treadwear 400, Traction A, Temperature A. Not too bad but i thought they were gonna be within RE730 territory...oh wells
