Good tyres for Euro 17" Rims

[Fredoops]

I heard sumitomo HRTZ III's been getting good reviews, it said to match Pilot Sport 2 / RE002 performance at half the cost.

I just ordered Bridgestone S001's for my CU2, I get them fitted next Thursday. I've got the Bridgestone RE050A's on my ISF and they are a nice tyre (especially in the wet), these S001's are meant to be the RE050A update. Should be more than adequate for the shopping trolley, and a big step up from the Toyo transpath MP4's that I got on at the moment.

Good to see we are starting to get decent tyres in the stupid 98 load rating that Honda Australia blessed us with....

Alright, after reading thru all these pages, I finally went with the RE002's. to replace the Bridgestone Turanza ER370's, that came with my car.Been on for a couple of weeks now and:
-They're quieter
-Definitely grip better, thru tight turns at speed.
-The steering is lighter and feels more responsive, how this is related to the tyres is beyond me.
-Still have to try them in wet weather.
Overall happy with them, I'd say I'm a spirited driver.

Heres my review of the Conti SportsContact 3...
Had them fitted for $200 each (205/55/16)

Now, they are brilliant in the dry, responsive, grippy and light (much lighter then the Nexen I used to have)
AND QUIET (like really quiet). They are better than the Dunlop SP sports I had initially, and better than the KU31's I had before that.

... Then it rained....

Well in plain wet tarmac, it's still great.

But when you hit standing water.... goodness it floats and unsettles, much worse than the "crappy" Nexen's I used to have.

Guess I have to slow down in the wet from now on.

Is your rs250 on 19 inch or 18's?

Mines fine in the dry... But fk it's scary over puddles.

PS2 is good, but eagle f1 is still better.

Thinking about going that way for next tyres on the ISF. Either that or RE11's. The PSS is about 2kg lighter per tyre though, bit of a difference.
