Tyre Recommendation thread

Look out for the new supertyre from Bridgestone in the coming months, the Adrenalin Re001 which replaces the S03. Not officially listed in many brigestone sites yet apart from the russian site. Saw them at a transport depot today about to be loaded onto a bridgestone truck for a dealers launch at a track next week.

Not sure what size theys would bring in, but I suspect they won't bring in the smaller sizes in 15 and 16" ( and have the RE01R cater for smaller sizes ) so most likely 17" and up.

Bought a set of new Yokohama S drive for our DC2R in 195/55R15, will let you guys know how I go with these after bedding them in and giving them a hiding.

Yonas had a set selling last year, perfect size for my rims, but i didn't have the money to buy it back then, or i would have!!

ad07> re01r
according to tire rack testing
they performed better in lap times and braking
however re01r got more points in the comfort areas
they questioned the R stands for revolution
not racing

any tyres recommendation for size 205/45 17?
budget ard 200 each

dude when i bought the car not long ago.. there is no tyre placard.. myb must have come off?!?
and also since the stock tire is 15/60/175 shouldnt the tire pressure change since i replace it to 15/50/195??

anyone tried the pirelli dragon?

euroaccord13 had pirelli dragon, try asking him/PM him. As far as I know, he's very happy with it. got a lot of grip and doesn't wear as fast as the others.

im after good performance tyres for wet and dry
done my research and not sure which to go for
size is 195/50 R15

Toyo T1R $150

or

Yoko S-drive $160

wat u guys think ?

^^^Personally I'm looking towards S. Drive next time^^^

your car must be resprayed or it fell off.
don't quote me, but i heard that the lower profile tyre, the more pressure you need

I would go with T1R. I reckon they are the best for their price. Im tried out G3s and cdrives which is near the toyo's price but their performance is not up to the T1R. And their tire wear is really good also. Will be switching back to them after my tyres run out.
