Tyre Recommendation thread

[andiiso]

oh i c .. thanks guys .. any more experiences wid them ? and also S drives etc ?

[T-onedc2]

S-Drives were supposed to be the successor to A539 and ES100 but are a harder compound an don't really cut it from what I've heard.

S drive is better than RE001 without doubt.. Its Yokohama top of range.

Friends using them on EVO and Euro, very good grip in wet and noisy free.

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

T1r's are good

but too much hype I reckon......

way over talked about.....

i'm running them atm, still can't get over es100

best tire i have ever used

Yokohama's top of line tire, but not as good as the old school Es100

I miss my es100 so, so, much

thats what i said

S-drive is the successor to es100

but Aaron disagrees

he says they have a different tread pattern

Oh sorry yeah they do have a very different pattern and because of it the S-drive will no doubt be quieter, I think I meant the successor in the Australian market as we miss out on so many good tyres. I loved my ES100s but love my AD07s more now

I've had the AD07s for barely 1000km so far, and recently had a chance to really push them and the stability and outright grip was amazing with no squeal, the tread blocks are larger than ES100 but the outer edge deisgn is very similar, I do suspect tyre noise may be slightly higher as a result of the large blocks.

for the re001's i got quoted about 165/corner from donellans in boxhill bro. but that was in a 195/55/r15. so shouldnt be much different to the price i got.

[andiiso]

the price $180 is for this stupid size 205/50/r15 lol, and also its from a place i know and it doesnt seem too bad of a price to me so i thought meh cbf going around lookin for it as i can just bring my rims into work and theyll pik it up n bring them bak to me n all.

lol its up to you. if i could save about 60 bucks then id sure as hell would do it.

[raz05]

philBo, would u consider Federal 595RS or 595RS-R, I'm using them at the moment. I think they are great for their price. Grip level is about the same as AD07

[euro77]

where do you get AD07 from?
