The rs3s also dont make a lot of road noise which is good.

Hardsteppa, i will check out the RSRR next time i need a new set of tyres. Thanks

I'd go a ride in a car with RSR/RSRR before deciding, from all I've read they're cheap and stick well but very noisy. Some have compared the noise to the KU36, which I run, and that's certainly a noisy tyre.

RS3's are meant to have a good balance between price/grip/wear/noise.

i run RSR on the GTR and would never complain about road noise... They have a slight hum but you don't really notice it after a while. And that is even with a relatively quiet exhaust.

it is indeed.

had Rs3's for a few months and yeah they're not bad, but...ad08r's now on all four wheels and wow..I can honestly say, never experienced anything like it. Best tyre I've ever used.

I've had ad08r on my car for a while now. Done a few track days on them and driven daily, they still have 85% + tread and grip the same as when new. Compared to cheap motorsport Street tyres, rsr, 123s etc. These actually last and it will be a long time before you see their performance drop off. Easily the best road tyre I have used that can handle and work well on the track (never used rs3 to compare though). I've recently been using A050 semis for my last 2 track days and have only managed to go 1 second quicker. If I don't end up going at least another sec quicker, I'll be going back to ad08r.

Can anyone comment on re71r ? Will these tyres be a waste if used for street only? I think these are on par with the ad08r ?

The new re71r's are amazing.  I was strongly debating mounting a set but a great deal came up that I couldn't pass on.  They are hugely popular in auto cross in the states.  If you drive spiritedly, you would enjoy the extra grip but I doubt you would get anywhere close to their limit on the street.  I haven't even hit the limit on my 003's.  In the end, they're one of the best street tires you're going to find, but to determine if they are worth it to you would be dependent on your driving style.

I initially wanted re003 as i think the re003 would last longer than the re71r... plus maybe the re003 would be better on the wet too compared to the re71r... then again i think the tread wear rating for both are 200 and 210 respectively so not much difference. (I could be wrong) but thanks for the feedback! Might really look into it. ..

If the RE71R is a rave-worthy tyre, then the RE003 is a long way from that.  I put them on my car.  Previously having used AD08Rs and before that various KU36s etc.  The RE003 has nowhere near as much dry grip as the AD08R, so should be at least as far behind the RE71R.  The RE003 is pretty good in the wet, no argument.  The life expectancy looks to be pretty reasonable.  I'm going to get a lot more life out of them than the AD08Rs, which is the main reason I decided to try them.

FWIW, I'd probably use the RE003 again, even with lower grip levels.  They're still a pretty good tyre.

ok i'm revising my vote. AD08's are great, and hopefully they should last a while, but, RSRR's are the best (grippiest dry, and I also found them fine in the wet)  tyre I've used. Don't last long, but, don't cost that much either.

Don't slap me around here but I'm running NS2R's by Nankang.

Semi Slicks very good in the dry and in the wet I had traction in 1st my old Bridgestone R002's didn't.

Not saying the best tyre but pretty good so far.

Have 1000km on them but that's first review.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
