another tyre ques

[AE101Z]

im going to get some new tyres,
Bridgestone RE001
Dunlop DZ 101
Dunlop Sport Maxx
or Goodyear Eagle F1


which one will be the best??

[sergei]

I used to use F1
Now I am using RE001
RE001 is better tyre (in my opinion) and cheaper.

[Bling]

Go for the cheapest of those, they are all good tyres so you can't really go wrong. Just don't get a Chinese made Eagle F1. (they differ in country of manufacturer)

Not many people will have compared all 4 tyres, but theres a couple of tyre gurus on here that will know the biz.

[AE101Z]

u know roughly how much for a set of re001 ? 205/40/17

[tsoob]

go for the toyo t1r man, $195 toyspeed special

[THA SHZ]

bridgestone re-001 i sell @ $210 to toyspeed members

[xsspeed]

they come in 195/45/r15 by chance?

That is a good price, don't forget those tyres are made in Japan and are OEM option for STIs.

negative sorry
but i can do you a great deal on continental sport contact 2 but will still be pretty expensive , depends how much you wana spend per what performance you want
other options are kuhmo 712 or indent only on toyo t1r

[xsspeed]

what about 185/55 or even 50?

what do you mean by indent only?

Might as well grab a price check on those others at 195/45 if thats sweet

Sorry for hijack

Got RE001 in 205/40/17's very happy with them only complaint is road noise (could be something to do with pillowball mounts tho). Grip well

[THA SHZ]

195/50R15 can be done in re001 @ $185
the continental 195/45R15 sport contact 2 @ $260 normal retail of 335
indent means you order and wait foir it to arrive on next ship 6 weeks usually upwards
185/55R15 in re001 - negative

[rolla_fxgt]

go for the re001's you won't regret it. I have them on my 101 fxgt, in a 195/50/15 & they grip like you won't believe! I haven't figured out how to loose traction on them yet, even in the wet.
They're a bit noisy on some smooth seal, but strangely are silent at 100k on the motorway.

I'd rate them better than the DZ101's I've had in the past which previously I'd been pretty happy with. & the Re001's are cheaper too. I think I paid $180 a tire 3 weeks ago.

You guys have got it all wrong, Get Kingstars, they last for years

Just out of interest what is the wear like for the Re001's compared to the DZ101's?

youre comparing two different types of tyre there , re001 is assymetric and direzza is directional , so instantly the re001 lasts longer and is quieter

From my experience, I think the Direzza is marginally quieter than the RE001, on the same pieces of road. I guess the Re001 may quieten down as its worn in a bit though

[Nuty|Mike]

go for the toyo t1r man, $195 toyspeed special

What he said!!

Best sticking tyre in the wet and dry !! Only downside would be a slightly softer side wall but you hardly notice it .

[Alex B]

Much around is 205-215/45/16? Stupid oddball size from what I can tell.

[1I1]

Snoozin was saying last night he got roughly 15k out of the RE001's on his ITR

[Alex B]

Thats pretty good. Might look at something like that then, long as they make em in a 16.
