Tyres you use(d) and how u would rate them

[SNG]

Hi guys,

Just after peoples opinion who have tested Toyo T1 R's and Falken RT615's, what would your thoughts and feedback be on each compared to each other only. Dry/wet, overall. Im deciding between these two and need peoples experience to sway me to one over the other.

Thanks for your input.

i have t1-rs myself and have ridden in 2 cars with 615s, you cant really compare the two, the 615 is designed way more agressive tyre, they will wear out quicker, be noisier, harsh ride, and biased towards dry girp whereas a t1r is a normal top of the range tyre which is quiet, softer sidewalls, better life etc.

so you shouldnt compare the two, but if you want a comparison i can tell you that the 615s dry grip is incredible when compared with the t1-r. the t1-rs are some of the best normal road tyres i have tried along with sport maxxs, but in terms of dry grip they are light years away from 615s.

a fairer comparison would be 615 vs toyo r1r but r1rs are not sold here anymore anyway...

Has anyone tried advan neova AD07's? im trying to weigh up it there worth $1920 a set or should i go the T1-R's or pilot sports?

after driving on the federal ss595's for just under 1000k's they are performing very well.average to above average in the wet.and making a bit of sound also.

Front: Falken ZIEX ZE326

Rear: Falken FK451

Absolute rubbish these tyres. Just can't put power down through them, they don't handle corners.

Grip about the same both wet and dry, I can't say if they're worth buying, as I don't know what they're worth to buy, but they're basically brand new on the car at the moment.

I wouldn't even tell my enemy to put them on there car!

[evil_weevil]

well,

My dunlop 3000A's have finaly gone to shit! I have yoko C drives on the front - was reccomended to them, but I feel there is room for improvement...

I heard the yoko a v s's are good - anyone know?

[evil_weevil]

Brendan - would they have those tyres in the smaller 225/50/16?Federal SS595's that is!

Im not brendan.haha.i dont know if they do but you can allways try.ive also heard good things about the falken fk452's as a budjet sports tyre.duncan raves about them.

lol I do, and stand by the recommendation

I just put federal 595 on the front of the 350z after all the good reviews. I would say:

Dry : 7/10

Wet : ?/10

Value for $ : 9/10

Performance wise these are very good road tyres, not as good as the dunlop sp9000 but still in the top few I have used. Not sure about wet yet but am not too hopeful.

But they are harsh and noisy for normal drivnig, kind of like a semi slick (but not as bad thank god).

Still at the price I think they are a good choice if you don't mind the noise.

I paid 220ea in 245/45/18 from Payless Chatswood.

Your Craig, Craig!

Brendan - ECR033

sweet as, I called chatswood payless - never got back to me

[evil_weevil]

Just spoke with chatswood payless for tyres - they dont have the 595's in but havwe the 535's - they say they are almost as good, not as noisey and hold up pretty good. anyone know for sure?

seem a good price

[Duncan]

they ordered the right size in for me, 2 days

[DaFuca]

Evil, the 595 is the better pattern, it holds better, and the tread is deeper, i would order the 595's and wait, be a better option.

the 535's are the next step down from the 595's

Has anyone here tried the Toyo R888 in the different compounds? I woud like to know what differences there is between the SG and the GGG compound. I know SG is softer but how much difference does it really make?

[WTF-33R]

RE01's.. came with car, seem to work good

Same here. havent got any wet driving experience yet (only had the car 4 days) but i can report that in the dry these hold on beautifully considering they have aged a bit and have gone hard from sitting around the docks and compliance workshop. would have loved to try these new

[discopotato03]

Michelin Pilot Preceda PP2 , these are the fruit on road IMO . Car is R33 GTS25T with SK/Whitline full suspension kit . Wheels are Rays Engineering LM1GT4 5 spoke 17 x 8 30P and tyres 235/45/17 profile .

In the dry it would take stupid speeds to find the limits of adhesion and since its public roads ATM not going to find them . Damage was 235 each so 940 the set .

Cheers Adrian .

Are the pilot precedas ranked below pilot sport?

[matt_085]

hey have a 95 r33 gtst with only a few mods like 3 inch exhaust, turbotech boost controller set at 9psi, and possibly a aftermarket ecu. just bought the car and has new nexen n2000 225/50 16 tyres and i must say they are no good at all. very easy to spin tyres dosent grip around corners and even worse in the wet. want to replace them soon. what would be a decent fairly cheap tyre that would hold better than these and aprrox cost of them.

[siddr20]

Chris_S15-- I have advan Ado7s in 255s in the rear..

I must say they have excellent grip in the dry when its warmed up a little..

I would recommened them, but its so expensive to buy a new set at around 400 each..

Lucky my rims came with them..

But go for it if you have the money!! Trust me!!

TRUST33-- pretty sure they are.. The sports are top of range..

Will I feel much difference between sport maxx and sp 9000 on the road(no track work) as a whole in all conditions as a total package? Giving for same price so not too sure what to do?

I've not tried the sport maxx.....but you will not be disappointed witht he sp9000 - they are the best road tyres I have used (and I get through a heap of them)
