well
my tyre history from brand new
- stock Yokohama Advans (crappy ones), 14s
- Goodyear Eagle F1, 16s
- Dunlop SP Sport 9000, 17s
- Falken ZE512, 17s
- Bridgestone RE001, 17s

i am only running the RE001 on the front, still have the Falkens on the back

well, it has only been a day!!!
and i have been deliberately driving slower/not as crazy cause i don't want the hassle/cost of destroying another wheel/tyre

it does feel 'grippier'
steering response is somewhat better
noise is about the same? not as loud as the Goodyears

i also drive my dads stock 07 VTi on the 15s - Dunlop SP Sport 300 and i think it handles fantastically, maybe cause of the way i drive hahaha

i am going to lower my 01 GLi and will see how it goes
i am thinking by lowering it i am going to have to drive even more carefully as opposed to 'crash and bash'
