Bridgestone RE760 or Continental DW?

Macky112 · 04-06-2012, 03:30 PM

Hi All,

Given that the Continental DW cost just a little more on TR than RE760, how do they compare? I am interested in tread wear and ride comfort/noise.

could someone with experience with both tires chime in?

Regards,
Michael

Both are pretty quiet, DW probably quieter. Tread life should be pretty close. UTQG treadwear numbers are about the same, but Continental tends to be a bit more optimistic with that, so probably advantage Bridgestone there. I've tested on both, and they're both good tires.

For the M3, I'd favor the DW because the grip level is more comparable with the OEM tire. The Re760 is a step down in grip from the OEM.
