i have RE001's on the front of my car with SK's full kit. Havnt really pushed her yet, but from what im feeling, a nice tire, plenty of wear, plenty of grip. Definately putting them on the rear aswell not the cheapest tire tho!

thats a good price, in perth a person was quoted $300/tyre for 225/40R17.

which i was more than disappointed about seeing as i can get RE01-R in 235/40/17 for $330

Yum, RE-01. Do they sell those in Australia officially?

The local Bridgestone Motorsport dealer in perth sells them.

Anyways i ended up going with the RE001 as i got a set for a good price. And i can say they unbelievably good, i was thinking they would be similar grip level to the G3 (which where my last two sets of tyres) but they are miles ahead in terms of grip.

I was running them on the front for a drift practices and the whole night (2-3hrs) the front end never lost grip and held the cars line.

I am very impressed by the RE001, and can't wait to take them for a grip lap and see what sort of times i can put down :P

Getting a set of these for my car on monday.. Believe it or not it will be cheaper to buy the 235/45 over a 225/45. they are more widely used and are cheaper.. My cousin is NSW area manager at bridgstone and is getting me the tyres cheap, so thats how i know!

RE-01® and RE-001 are different tyres no?

I've used RE-01, pretty damn grippy. Next best thing to a semi I think. They came with a set of rims from Japan.

Also, driven a WRX on RE001, also a awesome tyre but a lil exxy. Very quick response with changes in direction and well planted.

$280 for 215/45/17

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
