cfdrumr Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hey, So when I got my tarmac3's, I picked up some cheap Federal 595's so I could have some tires. They were eh....no tractions anywhere, crazy in the rain, ugly....blah blah blah Well...yesterday I picked up some brand new Bridgestone RE-01R's from Delco tire ($220 a corner mounted and balanced) While I have only driven 20 miles, I can tell you these are the best tires Ive ever seen. They grip for days BUT they dont cause the car to understeer. YEAH! They look badass and perform even better. I highly recommend these tires to ANYONE and EVERYONE.

Guest Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I was debating between thee and Dunlop Z1 Star Specs. Went for the latter as they are priced much better. Great tire. I am envious that you're trying summer tires in winter. Wrrrr. Snow here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am envious that you're trying summer tires in winter. Wrrrr. Snow here. I picked up a gently used set of StarSpecs (17s) which i'll be running on my RPF1s... Yay!! ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGV101 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Used them for almost a year. They're great on the dry road but scary in the rain. I won't say they are horrible on wet roads but my old RE050A were less scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yes, I was running GY DSG3 and RE070 in the past. I also have RE050A Pole Position on the other car, although never got to push the latter tire hard. They are the best tire I've experienced so far grip wise. Steering response strangely suffered compared to GY GSD3 but maybe it's due to thread depth (GYs were worn). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
