The RE001 was quicker around the track by 2 secs compared to the control tyre S03. So you cant argue about bang for your buck

205/50/15 is closer to the stock rolling diameter than 195/50/15 would be(assuming the eg was similar to the ek's)
the sidewall is slightly taller on the 205/15 than on the 195/50 too, it makes a difference

Quoted $197 for Re001 in 205/45/16 at BTC Hornsby.

Anyone do any better?

no such thing as "aussie made" - sll re001's are made in japan.

look on the sidewall it clearly states "made in japan".

written on my 195/55/15

You are wrong Ben. My understanding is the first original batch were Japanese, and now the latter is produced localled, for the aussie market.

Mine are Aussie made - it says it on the tyre

I noticed the finish wasn't as nice as my japanese made yoko s-drives. however they still grip well and seldom squeel.
