I don't like the sound of that. No. I mean I actually don't like the way that they sound! -
I'm rating the Michelin Pilot Sport 5's I currently have on my NC, they are great for throwing the thing around on the street, and handle great in the wet, the price is also reasonable They are not as good as something like a RS4 in the dry, but, as it is a street car, the 5's are alot better for inclement and cold weather I've found RE003's to be 5hit.... -
Just as long as it's not those putridly disappointing RE003s.

I had this same experience going from a set of no name tyres that were on a set of good wheels (Enkei RPFs) to some Potenza RE-11s (this was a few years ago). The wet grip in particular was so much higher that it was almost scary considering how dangerous the old tyres were in comparison. The expense of the tyres also made me want them to last longer so drove accordingly. Wife happy. So now she only 'lets' me buy some flavour of Brigestones... -
This. All of this. I am turning >$300 into small particles inside 20k km, because I like to be able to roll around any 90° street corner at the speed limit. Would my car be more fun with cheaper tyres? Possibly. When I swapped out the bald AD09s for new ones, the change in the car was massive. The obvious one was being able to put the power down instead of lighting up into silly wheelspin. But the corollary of that was that the lateral traction went from being fun to fast. It was more fun when it was loose. But the corollary to the corollary is that if I need to dodge a child in the road or emergency brake to avoid the arsehat who has just tipped a GWM on its side in front of me, then I've got a much better chance of that manoeuvre coming off without unintended "fun" meaning that I hit something else, or the original target.
