Tyre Recommendation thread

done about 300k's with my re001. dead smooth on the highway no veering at all. its also quieter than my old tyres (toyo transas) and grips very well.

Hmm.. the recent comments about RE001 having veering effects and dead-on-centre feel is making me reconsider about getting them.

Is it bad enough to avoid this tyre or do the positives still outweight the negatives?

No veering here as well. on my RE001.....I reckon this veering has to be either wheel alignment, or the road

Or pressure? I doubt it would be "road", if the problem is consistent.

My RE001 point straight and no dead-on-centre feel. They are quieter than C.Drives, obviously grip better and are more direct. The C.Drive is a comfort tyre, so you would expect the latter two to occur with the upgrade.

Toss up between Toyo T1R's , Potenza RE001's and Yokohama AD07's ? Dont be a brand whore and just say the Advans, but give me reason, atm I have the T1R's and the lifetime feels a lil bit short for my liking, so Im wondering if anyone has compared the 2/3 or 3/3 and give me some feed back

I have T1R's on my EM1 just put a new pair on the front with a wider profile (205/50 R15) a few weeks ago. I still have the old profile on the back (195/55 R15) the T1R's are classed as a Ultra High Proformance and as a result will ware out qicker that some other tyres however they give incresed grip considering the are a full street/wet tyre. the original set of 4 195/55 r15 T1R'S that where on my car when i bought it had about 65-70% of the tread left and they lasted me about 8-9 months and that includes 1 track day with them as weel as the normal hard street driveing day to day...LOL hightly recomend!
