Thanks

Don't get too hung up on width, not gonna get into the whole debate as there's already quite a few threads on here. But you'll find it's more about tyre compound and psi rather than width.

ey guys, not long ago i bought Michelin PP2 and i was happy wid them, performed quite well in dry and not too bad in wet (a lil above average i would say) and that was 1yr n a half ago, and now its time for new tyres as i have badly dmged 1 .. long story lol ... lookin into getting either Bridgestone Re-001, Yokohama S drive, Hankook Rs2 Or Toyo T1R

in size 205/50/15

Re-001 - $180
S-Drive - $180
T1R - $200
RS2 - $200

any suggestions ? i know there are reviews on them on previous pages .. but i would like specific recommendations n reviews on these in comparison for my Civic VtiR no track work just occasional spirited around corners .. i wanna know how they compare by wear and grip so i can decide on which is better for me like if one grips awesome but wears too quick compared to a more even one etc .. these are the only tyres im lookin at .. not too interested in others lol

any help would be nice

thanks guys
andiiso

^^ just got potenza re001's in 195/50/15, i highly recommend them. $143 fitted from bridgestone, just finished breaking them in (around 400-500kms). they have fantastic grip in dry weather (compared to my old dunlop fm901's) and have halved my breaking distance. when they lose traction its gradual so very controllable. absolutely great tyre.
