RE730 is widely praised and trashed. Personally, the praise (and price)
outweighs the trash from what I've seen. I bought a set that I'll start
using this summer, so I can't recommend them yet, but I've heard from a tire
guy I _really_ trust that he felt there was little difference for road use
between the RE-730 and Pole Position S-02, except the $100/tire price
difference (and the S-02 is more or less universally praised). Common praise
is extremely good grip in both dry and wet, good turn in, reasonable noise,
reasonable tread wear.

Best regards,
Brad
