EP3 Type R

RE001's..

Holy cow...the price for like 235/45/17 was like $190 per corner just last year. But I would not recommand these tires, to me they are just cheap Bridgestone tires garnished with loads of advertisements. And I found them hydroplanning when the road surface is very wet.

Just wondering how fast is the engine speed for EP3 when at 110 kph? Mine is like 3500RPM, is this normal?

Mine r also the Japanese ones as well. Do the Japanese tyres hav less grip? Or r they a softer compound?

Hey Perry I'm running 215/45/17 bridgestone adrenalines which are the re001 on my stock rims. I love them ! Been to track and drags they grip very good n I still got heaps or meat left. I drive my car daily n I have no problems. Driving in the rain is fine with them aswell. If ur after them I think they r having Xmas specials on. Try hursville or smithfield bridgestone n see what prices they have

[icecrm]

just got mine for $200 each i think

Thanks Steve I'll give Smithfield a call I use to go to them when I lived in the area there always out of stock for some reason.

Funny that, when I had my Evo with Adrenalines, big chunks of rubber started to peel off the tire after one session at Wakefield, maybe it's because Evos are heavier cars. Found a pic for what I mean.
