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

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
