Bridgestone RE001 vs Dunlop Direzza DZ101 vs Michelin PS3

[Nikolaiski]

As above...

 

1. Bridgestone RE001

2. DZ101

3. Michelin PS3

 

For those who have used at least 2 of these, which ones have the:

 

1- Stiffest sidewall

2- BEST wet weather grip

3- POSITIVE steering feedback in all conditions

 

I don't care about comfort levels, etc etc, only these three things..

 

I've used 3 sets of RE001s for nearly 4 years over 2 different cars (a Getz and then my current Lancer Ralliart as my daily driver), so kinda lost touch with the rest of the tyre range

 

My last set of RE001s lasted exactly a year (time to change this week) when I clocked about 55,000km so that gives you an idea of the sort of driver I am.

 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

 

thanks :)

toyo T1R???

very gd wet grip... i'm using it now...

[Nikolaiski]

i'm scared of the T1R's noise....hahaha. But it's a very good tyre nevertheless.

i used them all on my prev LGT.

my fav is RE001 bcos wet / dry grip is there w decent level road noise. And price is value for $

if $ is no object, i would had gone for RE11 but for my purposes, thats an overkill

 

DZ101 is extremely good in dry but slightly less confidence in wet esp in NSHW

And it hardens very fast. 25K harden liao. And the road noise is driving me nuts.

 

i currently use PS3 on my E39. it is decent.

but performance wise i cant tell very much, partly also bcos my 2L IL6 is no prancing horse... doesnt even come close

I am on DZ101, just got it a month back but i not hardcore driver.

 

The wet is ok, so far so good, can cut water well, dry is ok, not too noisy. Rim protector is really THICK, can really protect your rims compared to RE001.

 

My previous car was on RE001 and with a Advan RZ tires and i scrap my rims so many times and repair it :( so heart pain. I wish i had DZ101 on the RZ so i dun have to spend so much repairing rims :(

hmm maybe my previous bridestone tyres oso noisy tat's y i dun feel the diff wif my T1R... hahahaha

[Nikolaiski]

hahaha. ya the RE001s only get noisy at the 50,000km mark..and even then it's not THAT bad lah..

 

bro Comnao..your E39 although not a performance car by any means should be a good gague of the PS3's capabilities because the BMW is heavier than the LGT and wet/cornering speeds don't really require much horsepower lah :)

 

Guess i'll be deciding between the PS3 and sticking to the RE001 for now..lotsa good reviews in the comfort/wet department..question is..how's the sidewall/steering feedback combo..haha

ehh, which Bridgestones were you using before the T1Rs? Lotsa feedback saying T1Rs v noisy..that's why i'm abit apprehensive, but the Toyos are good tyres man...haha

[Beregond]

t1r wet performance is certainly good, but its sidewall is soft compare to b/s re001. the potenza tyre is famous for stiff sidewall.

[Mugen85]

My advice is if you are scared of noise, Stick to either PS3 or RE001.

Both also able to last you for quite some time.

depending on size, u might want to check out newer model of toyo , proxes c1s and toyo drb, noisewise should be way better then t1r, but performance wise i cannot say .

[Jazz]

Previously on RE001, I would say is a good UHP tyres, now currently on PP2 not PS3, it good enuf for me, stiff sidewall, good in dry and wet. Noise I would say better than RE001. Not a Dunlop supporter here.
