Bridgestone RE750's VS Toyo Prox..

I am stumped on which tire choice to make. I have 15" BBS "vert" rims and they are 6.5" wide.

I am going to run 205-50-15 fronts and 205-55-15 rears.

Simple questions, what's a better tire of the two? Also, if not these two than which tire would YOU recommend for daily driving that has a good amount of bite to it.


Also i drive 100 miles a day (50 miles each way to work) but i take back roads that are nice a twisty so i want a good tire.

Thanks for the input,

Either are good tires but I don't at all understand why you would run two different profile tires.....the 205/60 15 is the proper tire size. 205/50 would be 2 INCHES smaller in diameter!

I would recommend running the same size tire on front and back. That way you can rotate them without a problem. Rear tires generally wear faster than fronts, on a RWD car.

I have the 750's, and am pretty happy with them. I have not tried the Toyos.
