fourtailpipes · 02-18-2009, 04:21 PM

infinitekidM2C · 02-18-2009, 04:36 PM

Niiiiice...def on my the top of my list of tires when i get wheels.

ddtung · 02-18-2009, 04:37 PM

My guess is they are 225/40/18 front and 255/40/18 rear.I have the same sizes but RE01-Rs and I plan to try the R1Rs after I lower the car a bit and can fit them with no rub.DDTUNG

miro2296 · 02-18-2009, 04:38 PM

That is one sweet set of tires!!!!!

255/40-18 is super tall for this car

I saw them and I was sold. They are relatively light as tires go, and should be real sticky in the dry. Probably not the best for wet, but I drive slow when it rains or is wet out...

tHegeRm · 02-18-2009, 07:24 PM

I'm sure they'll "walk" less to not at all on the freeway like the stock RFT do.

Cool tire, but warm weather only and a relatively short life.

meed to stop teasing and put them on......

Very nice, would like to hear how they go..

WAY · 02-19-2009, 03:46 AM

I don't understand why people use tyres like the R1R. I am guessing it is noisy like hell anyway so why not just use a R compound? Unless you use your car for competition purposes like Berk or Evolution Racewerks and the rules dictates no R compound, otherwise just go all the way!

I drive the car about 5k/year, so tire wear is not really an issue.

I really just liked the tread pattern, and wanted a light sticky tire. PS2's would be nice, however they are too expensive. These were actually not too much...

Subscribed for the review. Very interested in how they perform

Man, I wish I could do that. I'd be going through these tires like kleenex.

ssabripo · 02-19-2009, 07:55 AM
