I asked this question in the other thread but no one seems to be answering and i'm going to buy some tyres soon so i would like some input from you guys.

I am getting 4 205/50/15 tyres as mine are totally rooted, 2 are 5 years old and 2 are bold which made my track event at wakefield pretty crap having hardly any grip and loosing it on turn 2 at one stage.

These tyres that i want will only be used for drag and curcuit although they wont be used much so i dont want to spend a ridiculous amount on curcuit tyres. All i want is a good street tyre that is good for these conditions, i don't care if they are noisy or wateva as i use my 17's daily.

In saying this i don't want to spend more than $500 total for four tyres, someone recommended federals, would they hold up nicely or would u recommend something else.

Thanks:thumbsup:

Bridgestone RE001's seem to be great and perhaps just fits under that budget...

i reckon they suck.
but yet again, i reckon the flaken rt215 semis also suck.
lol.
i expect too much.
the re01's are okay.
but personally wouldn't buy it.

okay the re01's aren't as good as i expected.
the rt215's don't suck, they're good, BUT, was expecting a tad more out of em, not really giving me what i wanted.
the toyo R888's gave me what i wanted. lol.
but really, i reckon the t1r's are really good for the money.
i'd pick the t1r's over the re01's

re001 or re01?

the 001 are the new adrenalins aren't they? re001 overtakes the re01 i think!
