Shit, completely forgot about this thread.

I ended up getting Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212's all round.

When I have a bit more cash in my pocket, I'm going to buy some 17's, and fir RE55's.

[RellikZephyr]

Potenza RE050's are a nice tyre

RellikZephyr

[Aaron34]

RE55sr for street and track, 100% of the time. anything less and you are a pussy..

Grip has it's benefits. So does the 5 grand I got for my street rims...

[phunky_monkey]

I hear ya Aaron, I sold my street rims too

[RellikZephyr]

Bridgestone, Firestone....???

Bridgestone from the Potenza family I belive. i see a fair few Porsches come in to my work with RE55S fitted for road and track.

well then...i like them...kinda partial to the Potenza family

so they are above the RE050

sweet

They are in a different league to something like the RE050's. They are a full R compound tyre. Major grip, poor wear, not crash hot in the wet.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

They are called Potenza S-03's and I can only get them for ~400 dollars a tyre in 235/40/18 and thats god damn Bridgestone wholesale prices!.

They stick to the road like all buggery in rain or dry tho, the best tyre wall and tread design I have ever seen.

Um, I think people are getting their wires crossed. The R compound Bridgestone tyre is the RE55. There are two compounds available in Australia - a hard & a soft. If you go to an ordinary Bridgestone shop you will probably get a blank look from the bloke behind the desk, so try the more motorsports orientated outfits.

[Aaron34]

be careful if you fit some RE55s. You are likely to smack your head on your drivers side window if you go too fast around a left hand corner.

The downside is the days of psychotic powerslides around industrial estates is over. Now it turns like the mad mouse.

[R34GTTSKY]

use to use Yokohama Es100's on ma previous car nice tyre to drive with in dry n wet performed really well n brakin was really godo as well

not cheap though

[rx7_1999rb]

Brisgestone SO3 is good street tyre too!!

[Mean_R34]

Another option for a good comprimise tyre is the Federal 595RS. Speak to President James as Federal are looking at giving SAUVIC members discounts on their tyres. He has some on his EVO now and they look pretty good.

http://www.federaltire.com/en/html/pdetail...line=1&ID=3

Anyone tried these Fedral's and did SAU ever snare a discount from them?

Any idea how they compare to the Hankook R-S2 for track work? Just they are a cheaper alternative to the RE55's.

[bloodzkull]

very intrested to hear anyones experience with the 595rs.

i currently have just the normal 595 on my gtr and i am quite happy with them
