I quite frankly find them scary!I am happy to spend the money on quality tyres as it may just save my life one day.The advans seem to have a good following.. Anyone else have a suggestion as I'm ready to purchase now Edited 19/03/11 12:26 PM by dre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member 1,008 Member For: 15y 1m 18d Gender: Male Posted 19/03/11 02:52 PM Share Posted 19/03/11 02:52 PM I have re001 and the cornering is miles better than the pzero neros, straight line no better but my neros were 275 the re001 are 245They can be had for $220ea in 245/35/19So far they seem reasonable and better than the factory dunlops, but I think they will get noisy as they wear especially on course chip bitumen, but can't complain for the price.... eBay is where you can get them for the above price my local can do them for $300ea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a new s04? Rates higher than re12 so may try also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo6FG Silver Donating Members 497 Member For: 15y 4d Gender: Male Posted 04/04/11 12:25 PM Share Posted 04/04/11 12:25 PM The Toyo T1R has been replaced by the new T1S (sport?) hasn't it? They'd be a great street tyre I imagine, although proper street legal semi slicks are grippier. I've got some 295/30/19 Toyo R888s ready to go on once my gearbox is finished being built & I can do more hard launches & burn the Advan AD08s off. Can't wait to see how they go after a few guys with a lot more rwkw than me have given them great feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came on the car and they're okay but looking for something better when the time comes. Edited 06/04/11 07:11 AM by Rockatansky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are designed to run on big mercs so they suit our big falcons well. nice wide footprint with excellent wet weather traction. Last a reasonable amount of kilometers considering how they get treated on a big power/torque car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
