Hello,
I wish to replace the original two low profile rear tyres with comfort tyres. I have been offered choice of Bridgestone Potenza RE003 or Bridgestone TZ 700.
Can you help with my choice please?

Hi there,
It sounds like Toyota vs Lexus between the two, both good but one has an edge but you pay more for it of coarse. .
Here is a review I found: Bought a set of 4 Firestone TZ700 245/45 R18's last week to replace my worn out Bridgestone RE003's. Primary reason for choosing was budget and was expecting them to be a bit crap after the fantastic, but very fast wearing RE003's. They aren't as grippy or precise as the RE003's, but considering how much cheaper they are, they aren't bad at all. Not super quiet, but a very compliant ride and car turns in very well. Really a very decent budget tyre. https://www.productreview.com.au/p/firestone-tz700.html
