Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras - View Single Post - Summer tire suggestions? (cold/wet performance important)

I've been thinking about the Bridgestone RE750s. They seem like a pretty good value for the performance and lifespan (I'm guessing they'll probably last 30-40k miles). They seem similar to the S-03s, but with a bit harder compound.

My understanding is that summer tires can perform well in the rain... it just depends on the tire. I have no intentions of putting the tires through slush or snow, but it does get cold at night here.

How much more grip can I expect from a tire like the RE750 vs. the Sumitomo or P7000 tires?
