That's awesome price for 225/45/18 RE001. ($265)

Even kmart typres was quoting me 225/45/17 ($305).

Anyone in Melb got RE001 at realistic prices yet?

Since the curret topic seems to be on the Bridgestone Potenza RE001, I thought I might just include my 2 cents.
I've currently got the RE001s on my 06 ODC in the size of 225/45/ R18 @38psi. The tyres are made in Japan and cost me about $265 a corner.
I got the tyres when I installed my ARBs, lowered the car and new rims. I was initially afraid of the road noise that the tires would produce, but to my surprise, it was only very slightly nosier than stock tires (Yokohama Aspec 215/60/16). Grip is amazing, been going around round-abouts at higher speeds and still feel very safe. Wet grip is also amazing, imagine throwing a 1.6 ton mini-van around a wet corner and feeling in control.
Best tires I've gotten so far.

I did fit 2 front tyre with pirelli pzero dragon (175/65/R15) about 3 weeks ago for $95 per tyre. Very good grip in the dry weather, low noise. I don't know how it go in the wet yet (There are no rain sicne i fit it). But I feel treadwear are bad compare to the old tire.

Thanks for the reply mate,
Let me know how they go once you get a chance to test them in the wet.

Dragons are even harder than the S.Drive at 380! But they do seem to grip good.

Hi everyone, my dad is looking for some new tyres for his Mazda 6. I'm not exactly sure of the size 205/55/R16? at a guess.
He doesn't drive much (less than 10k per year).
He's not after performance. Comfort and quiet is what he's after. Old tyres are the stock Potenza RE030's i think.

I know c.drives are highly recommended here, but how "performancy" are they? for that money (or cheaper) could he get something more comfortable and quiet?

Brigdestone Adrenalin RE001 is getting very good feedback for the latest release product.

I think they'd be too sporty for him. comfort and quiet are way more important than outright grip.
