havent been on re001s but t1rs are nice and quiet.

A true car enthusiast appreciates the time, effort and money put into ANY sort of car, modified in ANY sort of style, whether they may like it or not.
um.. after driving on Proxes4/T1r/RE001 my vote goes to RE001 for wet... i can't really tell much difference in dry conditions but cornering in the wet re001 wins for me.
"price difference" is a gay excuse... i still don't understand why car 'enthusiasts' skimp out on quality tyres...
but they are both quality tyres so either way, its a win win.......fair enough if it was say nankang but these are both on par with each other....but thats just my opinion

Just asking as I would like to know about to purchase a set of 205/45/16 RE001's soon. I rank steering response and road feel/feedback high .
ONE GREAT FEATURE of the RE001's is their shoulder pattern/angle and design...it compensates for negative camber and reduces wear
If you can afford it drop the RE001's/T1R's and go with the Yoko S-Drives... Stiff Sidewall, very responsive and good grip expessially when you consider their excellent wear rating.
i was of the opinion the T1rs were better from what i have seen from a mate's car.
I have the RE001, but that was only cos i was able to get them cheaper.
Don't get me wrong its still a great tyre. I'd like to try the same profile with the T1rs to compare also.
From what alot of feedback from people i know the T1rs is only just ahead, but not as good in wet. Again the margins are so slight.
If you can get the T1rs that cheap i'd go for them
hmm my re001 are only ok in wet. Maybe i shouldn't push it too hard?
In dry i only get wheel spin in 1st & 2nd but only little bits in the vtec area.
In wet is seems to loose it if i put my foot over 1/2 throttle
