Toyo R1R vs Re01R Vs Hankook RS2

[Alanysy]

Any one can advise on the above tires as i'm gg to change my rubber soon...

All 3 are very good street tires...except R1R gotta be slightly more cautious on a rainy day. My frd using Hankook RS2 says the wear out rate seems to be slower than his previous R888...Nt sure if this comparision if fair anot. As for RE01R, i have driven the CTR , a pretty gd street tire for normal daily driving.

agree on the R1R. especially when they are to their 3-5mm mark.

standing water must be careful.

either avoid or slow down.

 

when brand new/fresh. they are however quite a joy to drive in the wet. very predictable.

 

the RE01R is getting phrased out for the new Bridgestone Flagship RE11. still a favour among many.

 

regarding the RS2, it's a street tyre. it should wear slower than the R888 (semi slick.)

known as the "cheap" decent performer. but it's pricing lately is not giving it the $ edge.

 

expect to pay $2xx range for a decent 215/45R17 set of tyre each.

 

semi slicks are not recommended for everyday driving unless you know what you are getting yourself into.

[Gary84]

agreed with u totally...

[Dennisk]

RE01R same as RE001?

[Zuoom]

nope.

 

RE01R is the old flagship. RE11 is the new.

 

RE001 is the Adrenalin line.

If you are primarily going to use for street and the occassional track session, then R-S2 would be your better bet. R-S2 offers good grip in both dry & wet which is very impt as the weather is crazy these days with flash storms, not forgetting good wear rate.
