[hebe]

Just bought another two front RE001 ADRENALINS. Great tyre and Bridgestone has a special on them at the moment. $118 odd a tyre fitted.

For what size?

I just paid $140 for 205/50/15!!!

The guy did mention that 195/50/15 was only $117 though but according to my calculator, 205/50/15 gives the most accurate reading on the speedo when compared to my stock tyre size...which is like 175/65/14

[Mr.R]

finally got RE001's on

Vehicle: 2003 dc5r
Tyre: bridgestone Potenza Adrenalins RE001's x2 fronts Continental contact2sport x2 rears
Size: 225/45/R17
Cost: $200 for the 2 RE001 99% tread
Mileage of tyres: 300km
previous tyres: continentals at front also
Comments of current tyre: love the RE001's same sort of quiteness as the conti's, hold better grip in the dry, but conti's are better in the wet. Since its spring and summer time approaching, the RE001's will not have any issue's whats so ever. Tyre is in mint condition have taken my tyres to the limit and shows no signs of cracks. So great tyres ^_^

[tinkerbell]

so RT615 > ToyoT1R

the Dunlop Direzza Z1's certainly are

but it is hard to tell exactly how much, because we are all comparing brand new tyres to the tyres that were last on the car (which is a set of clapped-out old tyres)
