I've gone through 2 sets of RE050As. The performance of the RE050A is awesome, the sidewall is like a hockey puck, and they continue to perform like new all the way down to the belts. Obviously, the trade off is super fast tire wear. At 125K, I'm tired of replacing these after 2 seasons/~20K miles and dropping nearly a G note for them. I want a performance summer tire and the RE760 is nearly half the cost and I'm reading great reviews so far. I'm willing to trade some performance for more tread life. I know the RE050A is OEM on the G's so I assume some you have experience with both of these tires? How do they compare?

 

Consider the continental extreme contact tires if you want a good set that will last you 65K miles.

 

I actually ran conti extreme contact DW (not DWS) in between the 2 sets of RE050As, reason I went back to the RE050A because the conti's sucked. They wore unevenly, squealed like pigs when they broke loose, too soft of a sidewall that I could feel giving in the turns. I got maybe 35K out of them. 65K miles is a pipe dream, unless you are referring to the DWS.

Anyone else run RE760s and RE050As?

 

The 760 would be a lot better sport tire for dd use as they wear better and ride quieter. You'll trade a little dry grip to get back the life, but that's the only real way to get more longevity. I'd also look at the BFG GForce Sport C2... great tire.
