Looks pretty darn cool too.
Edit: you probably need to go to Bridgestone dealer to find it.
ive run RE760's on a different car. great tire as well, similar in price to the continental DW, but IMO for a DD, the DW is slightly better.

the DW weighs in at 24lbs front/27lbs rear versus the RE760 at 29lbs front/30lbs rear. savings of a measly 16lb . the sidewall on the DW is pretty soft, probably softer than the RE760, so it'd be a more comfortable tire, if thats what you're after at least. i cant comment on quietness as ive run the RE760 on a lexus (damn cars are so soundproof already!!!)

also, you cant beat continentals warranty. you get a standard 1 year road hazard warranty for FREE on all of their tires. never claimed it myself, but ive heard authorized resellers have no problems getting you a replacement tire for free, as long as its within the first year, and tread is at a certain level still
