Rate Your Rubber

Hey guys... i had a thought... everyone is always asking... 'OMG WHAT RUBBER DO I GETS OMG WOOT WHOA....'

so i thought .. why not make a sticky or a thread where everyone who has had a brand of rubber rate it and say the pros and cons... and price =D

would be a good thing for people who want to research tyre rubber =D

ok ill start hope it is helpful idea =P lol

Type - Toyo Proxes 4
Size -225/40 ZR18
Price - $800 for all 4 installed and balance
Time frame you have had them - About 1 year and abit now
Thoughts on the Rubber - they are nice... not much road noise and smooth grip is great on the wet they are nice too really good tread pattern =D
only thing now they are old and low on tread rears have bad wear on the inside of the wheel and im actually looking at replacement but i might even stick with the ol Proxes =D

Married - don't need no rubber...

unless u want kids? lol or do u fire blanks from all the rough car racing?

Type - Potenza RE040
Size - 225/45R17
Price - $400 each
Life span - 8-12 Months
Thoughts - Super quiet, soft, grippy. Generally excellent.

I got C-Drives on the Euro and love em. They were $300+ per tyre but will buy em again in an instant. That's on the standard 16" rims.
Type - Yoko CDrives
Size - 215/50R16
Price - $320 each

Type - Bridgestone RE001
Size -205/55 R16
Price - $660 for all 4 installed and balance
Time frame you have had them - About 2.5 years
Thoughts on the Rubber - Great street tyre for the price. Not the grippiest but great grip per dollar. Been to Wakefield twice and still going strong. I have a second set on my spare rims in storage. :)

+1 for the RE001! Fantastic tyres...the best i've tried so far.

+2 for re001

Running them on the 17's. Paid around $235 a corner from memory.
