Performance Tyre talk

[Preen59]

My uncle just got these today..



Yokohama Advans. Can't remember the exact code. Obviously he hasn't used them yet so I can't tell you what they're like. They're road legal though. And my finger stuck to them a bit when i was moving one of the fronts this arvo. Not bad for a cold tyre! haha.

I have run both Falken Azines RT615's, and have Federal 595 RSR's on my stock wheels...I got 20,000km out of the Falkens, and 25,000km out of the Federals so far, and think I will get about another 20,000km out of them...The Federals are friggen awesome, and grip really well in the wet and dry.

Bridgestone Re55s
Re 001 Adrenalins no where near as good as the re050A in the wet or the dry, and the RE050 is a much quieter tyre also. but still a performance street tyre. The price difference between the RE050 and the ADrenalns also reflects their performance...

whichever one you chose here, the first few laps will be fine, after that, expect chunks of the blocks to be departing from the edges of the tread.

I have decided to grap a set of Kumho KU36's as they are a perfect compromise of a street tyre and a tyre which can handle a bit of track work with out delaminating after 2 laps (my continentals dont like Sandown!!). Most of the time you have an option of R compound or performance street and both have their pro's and con's, personally I dont think I could live with an R compound for street as they would always be cold and slippery not to mention noisy as F@#$
