Good tyres for Euro 17" Rims

[aaronng]

Aaron, so whhich tyre would u buy if you had to buy now? RE001?

The other thing is whether the full tyre shoulder is flat'ish (nice and stable) or round'ish (floaty!).

If I didn't do many kms a year, then RE001. If I did many kms, then either S.Drive or C.Drive.

say 10,000km a year?

10,000km a year? That's not a lot, probably go for RE001 then.

the flat'ish or roun'ish sidewall does not stand a strong statement anymore judging by the technology involve in tyre making nowadays.

if you have a chance to try between s03 [flat'ish] and re001 [round'ish], you will know there is no much difference between 2 models because of O'bead.

i think re001 on euro is more than enough, but if you drive S15, having a set of S03 will give you more fun than re001...... my 0.2 ringgit

OK. RE001 for me. I'll replace the 2 front tyres and see if it resolves the drift-to-the-right.

So has anyone else here put RE001 on their 17" Rims? (225/45/17)

That's low. Go RE001 then.

He meant tyre shoulder, not the sidewall. I'd go for one with a squarish shoulder, after using tyres with a roundish shoulder. I preferred the squarish shoulder of the C.Drive.

RE001 has replaced the S03. You can't get S03 in smaller than 205/50 R17 anymore.

Does anyone know how much for RE001?225/45/17.Also anyone here with Dunlop Sport Maxx?I'd be interested in any feedback.Also treadwear ratings if possible.

Was quoted on RE001 at $315 ea in 225/45/17 a few months back.

Just rang a few places in Melb (BJ, BTC, TP). Pricing was $297 to $325. Bit more than I was expecting.

Has anyone actually got them fitted closer to $250? (225/45/17)
