Got them on the S2K, Bridgestone Hurstville (Forest Rd.). I am a semi's man but I like these. Makes my suspension feel soft, so must add a few more clicks now to stiffen them up some. Very confidence inspiring in the wet, then again I did have Falken Ziex on the car before!

K-Mart Tyre Auto Centre catalogue i got in the mail yesterday has these advertised for 215/45R17 for $249 each! (QLD)

whats the best recommended tyre size for 16x7? im thinking 205/45/16R?

[tinkerbell]

yeah i just got a set of RE001's in 205/45/16 on my 16x7 wheels and the size is just right. dont think you should go 215 on a 7" wheel looking at my new tyres/wheels.

I have got better turn in feel. it feels sharper but its probably due to going from 15" to 16" wheels rather than these tyres.

They definately have lower rolling resistance than the falkens. Though it will take a while before i can assess the grip levels.. first impressions (been about a week now) are not as good as RT215. but will see...

Hey guys,

digging up old posts here, but any new reviews on these tyres? my RE050s are on there way out so im looking for some new tyres. Best price i cant find for these are $245 in SYD. Reviews and prices welcome ^^*

^What size?

[REK13S]

bridgestone in smithfield have a special on atm

[Zakarados]

sorry, 215/45R17

To my understanding the RE001's have better dry performance than the RE005's but in the wet its the opposite.

I was quoted $197 for 205/45/16 at BTC in Hornsby.
