basically my rego was running out and i knew that i had to replace my falken RT615s..

one day i come back from uni to find that my tyres have already been replaced?? my dad, in trying to be nice took my car out and replaced all four tyres for me.. he however, didin't know that i was keen to get the bridgestone re001 next..

he doesn't know anything about tyres and just asked his friend to slap some on.. i ended up with Regal RSV-240s. and i have no idea how they are.

does anyone have any idea how they perform on a dc2r? i dont think i can get a refund for them so i'll just have to wear them out but just wanted to get some info on them. like is it still safe to corner hard with these tyres? or should i just drive it like a granny until i get new tyres? also whats the optimal tyre pressure on these?

thanks in advance

Internet tells me made in South Africa by Dunlop.

What does the reading on the sidewalls say? you know, the Wear Rating, Temperature and Traction

you'd probably be the best one to answer your question. you're driving on them.

tyre pressure should be on a sticker near your door jam or similar
