Installed RE760
The Bridgestone RE 760’s were installed on the rear of my z today. The fronts are still the stock Advans. Rear grip is good but the cornering response feels “rubbery” for lack of a better term. Rear camber is set at -1.5 degrees. Rear toe in is 0.100”. At highway speeds the front tires turn in precisely as before, but the rear doesn’t generate equal cornering force until after a slight delay. I guess that means the RE760’s need more slip angle than the Advans to generate the same cornering force. No matter what the reason, the car feels more and more unstable as speed increases.
My tire dealer has agreed to give full credit for the RE760’s against a move to an upgraded tire. So I am now looking at Michelin pilot super sport to get that precise cornering feel on the rears. How are the S04’s with respect to precise cornering response? Any other tires to look at? Thanks for any suggestions. |
