Tyre Recommendation thread

ive had g3 and t1r
and i reckon t1r has an even softer sidewall than g3 and it worn out quicker than my g3

which 1 is better in d wet ?

id say t1r's are slightly better in wet
but not significantly
if u want wet performance
eagle f1 gsd3

does anyone know if the re001 will come in 15's
they are pretty much half a re01

i think im leaning towards S-drive yoko's

yeap.. http://www.potenza-adrenalin.com/
n from the site it said some sizes will b made in south australia while some in jap...

I'll be enquiring with bridgestone shops to see if think bridgestone aust would bring in the RE001 in smaller sizes.

I'll definately get a set of 195/50R15 for my EG if they are aval, otherwise I'll get a set of S drives as they seem very good so far in our DC2R.

The RE001 has the outer tread blocks similar to the RE01 and the inner blocks similar to the RE070 as on the WRX STi except less aggressive. It's also assymetrical so you won't be able to demount and swap from side to side to even out the camber wear on them.

where have you guys been getting your quotes for your tyres.
In 19 225/35 So far best price I got for the
Good Year Eagle F1 G3-D3 was like $550
Yokohama S-Drives were like $450
Probably go the s-drives to save a little dosh.

other than comfort, the falken 452 is every bit as good as the goodyear f1 gsd3.

and for the 17" size, it is about $100/tyre lesser than gsd3.
worth the money.

Where did you get those quotes from?

Just got email confirmations about the availability of Re001 from Bridgestone Aust. The 195/50R15 size is avail! Didn't ask about the other sizes.

I'll get a set in the next few weeks and let you guys know how I go with them.
