with your power, nothing but semis and up are gonna grip well.

But next down on the list Toyo T1Rs are supose to be good.

I'll be trying them next and i'm making close to what you are.

Is noise an issue? AD07's grip like nothing else but are a little noisy, not too bad tho. On the other hand RE001's are very close behind but are completely silent. Similar prices in my experience.

Dont cheap out on tyres imho.

They are one of the most important things to choose from considering theyre on the road most of the time.

Advan AD07, PM Max Hondapower.
Federal 595RS-R, PM Jdm-yard.

Federals are very quiet. Much quieter than your usual semis.

without going to semis, what are the tip top street tyres you can get?
re01r has a ridiculous price tag, cheapest was like 290 each for 195/50/15...

My favourite ever that I(me, myself, not another person) have used was yokahama es100

too bad they are dis-continued, so, this is irrelevant

Yes I agree ES100's were very good, I found them very similar to RE001 in grip levels but noisier, but nothing to complain about.

AD07 205/45 16 are available in Australia now as the Ralliart Colt wears them, I don't know if other sizes are available though.
