I think its discussed here. Not sure if the tire has changed in its design recently because this test is a few years old but still good info inside

for the new bridgestone series, i've run the RE-050A pole positions, the RE-960AS, and currently, the RE-01R. the RE-050APP's are really good. their quiet, very sticky, pretty good in the rain, and FAR outlast their 140 treadwear rating. they still go quickly, but they last about twice as long as any other 140 i've tried. i really like those tires; crisp feeling, too.
now the RE-01R is a whole nother ball of wax.....strangest tire i've ever driven on. once you get used to them, they're FAST.....

Ever consider the Advan AD07 ?? the grip on dry & wet are excellent. Stiff side wall, the noise was acceptable. Durability was also sufficient for 10K miles. (without autocross)
Strongly recommended. Till date, they are the best street tires i've ever used.
Also agree not to save money on tires, since they are the only four friction pts that sticks your ride on the road.
Just my 0.02 cents

Tool,
thx a lot for posting up about those, i read a lot of reviews on those last night, and they seem to be pretty good darn tires, especially for the price.
im veryyy close to completely wearing out my tires, so i might get a set of those in the near future.

agree that the AD07's are great tires. they were my favorite until i tried the potenza RE-01R's. either way, though, the AD07, like any extreme performance tire, doesn't last that long. it's the trade off to the superior performance.

Another low budget long life tire is the Hankook K104. Decent traction wet/dry, quiet, V rated. Similar to the Sumitomo in price/performance. Not the first choice of dedicated track hounds. As a daily driver tire it might be just the ticket.

Those are the ones I have in the front, a pair of 245/35/18 that I payed only $215 for, including shipping -- and I'm quite happy with them.
