    Another +1 for the RE002's. Been great on my car, no loss of grip, even spirited driving through the spur with cars on the Pilot Sport i felt i had more grip than them.

    Click here to enlarge ..... oh... well that's a fair gap, BUT, a lot longer (if treated right) span than I was expecting. I'm a little more used to asking about tyres and being told if daily >40
    I'm going to see what I can do to twist the minister of finances' arm into allowing this >before< the trip *as I'll no doubt hear about 'if you don't drive it so hard the ones we have will be fine.* to which my reply would be, 'we may as well fly there and back if I'm not allowed to drive the roads I picked out the way I want to.' .... mind you she drives the same way, taught her myself Click here to enlarge

    It depends heavily on how you drive/treat them, but the wear life of the Re002 should be good for a performance tyre.

    Good afternoon all.

    In case anyone is not aware, Bridgestone is having a sale until the end of this month:
    http://www.bridgestone.com.au/stockc...e/default.aspx

    I think the prices are quite good, especially compared to the equivalent Michelins.

    So for anyone needing/wanting some new RE002s or PZ-Xs etc., looks like now is the time to go for them!

    ^^^ RE002's ftw. I cant recommend them enough after running them on my car
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    We have Michelin pilot sports on the SRi and they handle really well. Not sure what they are like price wise though
