Hi All,

What compound Re55s have you used? I am about to order a set for the GTR to hopefully last the QR Timeattack season. I assume Hard is the go? ANy experiences with different compounds would be great to hear?

Any help appreciated.

Michael

TT = Medium Soft

WT = Soft

SR = Hard

i havent been able to find cheaper re55s in brisbane than amec either.

i didn't say I had never seen them. I said I hardly ever see them. haven't bought a new set of tyres for a while now, but for a long time after SR2 was available OS they were still selling SR here. I guess things have changed now which is good, but I mentioned is as no one else did. :)

why is there a huge difference between prices within the same rim size?

16 inch tyres

205/55/R16 $329

205/50/R16 $400.50

225/50/R16 $280

225/45/R16 $400

especially the last 2? typo?

Some are used as a control tyre in certain race catagories and hence the volumes sold are high - which consequently brings prices down. I know all the EVO guys were gutted because Bridgestone recently lost the rights to one of these control tyres so their prices all got jacked up heaps.

    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

That said, some days you'll just never beat genetics, but 99% of the time dogs chasing cats is purely lack of socialisation, and then the chasing part can turn into prey drive.
