My one's came with Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R's. The handling is magnificent, especially on cornering. Googling some reviews on these tyres would give you an indication of how good they are.

mine is coming over with the bridgestones and according to auction sheet has 60% tread all round. will be wanting to keep them even after getting new tyres for compliance. are the re-01r's the ones out of factory?

OEM definitely not RE01R, i think you have to fit new tyres for compliance regardless how much tread you have.

and i don't think RE01R is E marked so not ADR compliant.

maybe we can fit new semis for compliance and re use the original tyres for street lol

Bridgestone also released RE11 which apparently is even better than RE01R.

I went to a dealer on parra rd 2day to check out 2 white ones i saw there last weekend and they were sold :( however they did have a black one there but that was sold 6months ago to a guy from far north queensland who hit a kangaroo LOL so he drove it back down here for parts or something and whoever fixed it done it very dodgy... colours arent even close... i sat in it and started her up tho and fark i must have one lol such a great feel!
