Anyone tried RE-01R and Adrenaline RE001?

[Abba]

can't agree with you more. I can find many alternatives that gives me similar perf and still keep a chunk of change in my wallet

[Coupe07]

RE-01R is not lasting on track..... however for street use is good..

[Saabretooth]

Hey Coupe07, when you say its not lasting on the track, how many laps before it gives way? or what do you say the characteristics of the RE-01R are like?

 

Heard it performs decently and I've seen it used on an alfa on the track before.

[Tonylai]

Really expensive tyres. 215/55/R16 cost $190 each! That's the price range for most 17" tyres... Hope they really are good!!!

[Coupe07]

theres a test by japan race drivers on track for:

 

1. BS RE01R

2. Yoko AD07

3. DUNLOP Z1

 

1. RE01R gave way on the 4th lap... timing getting worst, grip oso losing

 

2. AD07 is best. On 9th lap, timing still consistent, grip is still good

 

3. Dnlop direzza Z1, timing starts to drop on lap 7th.

 

Test is done on the same car, with same drivers. 3 different drivers did the same thing. All gave similar reviews.

AD07's dry grip is legendary, but wet is

 

So RE01R's not that great... hmmm.... let's see what good in the market in a yr's time (which I estimate my current tyres will probably be worned by then)

[Abba]

Interesting that AD07 last only 2-3 hot laps then starts sliding in Sepang, the track temp in Sepang can exceed 50C thus must be hotter than that in Jpn when tested.

 

ALso interesting that in US SCCA, they have to water down AD07 & RTs between runs but not the Hankook R-S2 which loves the heat; the hotter the better. Very suitable for our climate

Tirerack did test the RE-01R againts AD07, among other tyres.

This test seems to imply the RE01R to be above AD07 overall...hmmm...

[Saabretooth]

Thats what I thought I read too...

[Cyberet]

hmm.. 1 point quieter than ad07.. hmm.. wonder how much does a point represents..

[Clark75]

I'm on RE01R. No regret getting them!

[DarkLord]

How much you paid for them? Specs?

[Vblaster_w211]

Give us your impression on the RE01R. Handling, noise, dry/wet, lasting?

[Dionyeo]

what's the price for 195/50/15?

[Rev_zone]

Can try to approach Sing Tai Wah @ Sin Ming Autocare, read before someone bought his 215/45/17 there for $185 per pc so other size that side should be cheaper as well.

[Enrique]

bought mine for $120 per pc
