Love the RE-01Rs. But the best street tire hands down is the Advan Neova AD07, if money is no object. The new Z1 SS is probably the best value though.

I'll probably give the SSs a shot and see how they live up to the hype.

interesting little comparo video.

i was able to get 12k on my re01r rears before a nail got into the sidewall. they looked like they would have lasted me a few more thousand miles.

the dunlops are a nice tire, especially for the price.

 

I agree... excellent street tire if not the best. Great on the track, but it goes after about 5 or 6 hot laps in the low/med. speed turns as any street tire will do.

128mph on the bank at the Autoclub Speedway and the car was on rails even on the last few laps of the session. Though the front shoulders show significant wear after just 4 sessions. I'd give thiem another 3 trackdays max and I bet they'll be gone.

 

I need new tires,(4),and,I'm not sure,wich one to choose;
Kumho XS,RE-01R,or Dunlup Dirrezza....
What would br my best choice???
Thank's.

No test reports,yet,on the XS...

 

ok thanks for all the feel back i think im going to try them out

 

How do those tires compared to stock? My rears are about to go out, and I'm currently looking for new tires to replace the stock re05. I was talking to the sales guy, and he's like it's not worth getting the Re05 or the re01 or the re11 unless I do some serious track racing and autocrossing. He said that since I only daily drive and go occasional mountain crosses that i should get a cheaper tire like the dunlop z1 star spec or the Sumitomo's HTR-Z III.

 

well...
i'm about to put rears on & i'm going back with the re050s. i have been very pleased with them.
S is my daily driver and i think the 050 is the best year round tire with all factors figured in....

let us know what you get!!!!!

 

Ive had mine for 9000 miles with 3 track days and they are just about done. Great street tire. I agree with Ape-X on them lasting 5-6 laps. If price is no option they are great.

 

I had them on my M3. They SUCK in the rain. Aquaplanning heaven.

But great tires at the track. Well, OK tires at the track. I rather use track tires. Their main advantage, is that they are grippy as soon as you pull out of the pits. No warm up lap required. And they last longer than track tires. Running proper tire pressures, they NEVER get "greasy" 36-38 psi HOT.

But as a street tire, I didn't like them. Grippy, yes. In the dry only. And with warm weather only.

 

Hmmm. Since the M3 and S2 are different cars, How are these in the rain for you S2k owners?
