I can put it in the SAU Vic member deals section but then the poster won't be able to access it.

thanks matt do you know how the compare against the dz101's

[Downforce]

Mate I don't think you can really compare the Direzza DZ101's to the RE55's.

If we're comparing road tyres, I'd put the DZ101's against Bridgestone S03's, and I'd still prefer the bridgestones because they're damn good tyres!

But if we're talking R compound semi-slick race tyres, I prefer the RE55's over Yokohama's or any other brand.

[paulr33]

oh derr im a retard i didnt realise the Re55s were like semi clicks. my bad sorry i thought they were one of the sports range tyres. jeez i feel like a retard haha

Please don't hide this away. I had terrible trouble finding the old thread last time I went looking.

It's cheaper for me to use your connections and ship them to sydney than it is to buy them here with a club discount from a club sponsor, let alone from any other shop up here.

[silva33]

Any idea how long these tyres last for road use??im seriously considering getting some at that price its hard not to give them a go!

It depends - but not ages.

Put it this way - I usually do say 10 track days a year and go a for a number of spirited drives but otherwise rarely use my car and I still go through 2 sets of these a year.

But without track days I'm guessing 10,000-15,000km's only.

[silva33]

I they would last 15,000 km then its not to bad considering anything else only lasts about 20,000km anyway....

It seems everyone has these tyres that is serious about their car...

[Ronin 09]

I've had them for 1.5 track days and around 6,000 kms total road use.

I wouldn't expect them to last any more than 3,000 kms of road use plus a track day.

Oh and they're a very noisy, tramlining, irritating road tyre. If your car doesn't hit the track then I would spend a few more bucks and get a good road tyre (say ContiSport Contact 2s or Michelin Pilot Sports) that are simply awesome on the road and will last 30,000kms

Good work Matt

[Sarumatix]

are these street legal? Are there 16s for R32 GTR wheels?

[acsplit]

thanks matt do you know how the compare against the dz101's

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sorry ot get off topic paul i don't know what rims size you hav but Dz101's in 225 50 16 and 235 or 245 35 r17 have been discontinued so this means the 16" version have dropped to $220 ish from $300 mark but if you go to a beaurepairs or anyone with big dunlop dealership you can get them for a good price

but yest can't compare to re55's
