Hey Michael, would like to ask if Bridgestone RE001 thread life. Is it worst? I am using v8 now. 6 months finish. I city drive a lot. But also need some grippy tyres.

michael u tried the gr90 already ar?

answering on behalf oh him . was using re001 on my main ride. i could say very aggressive highway driving. after clocking close to 30k km with about 45% tread left, sold the tire at 90 bucks each, which is well worth it. tire last longer in city driving compare to constant highway driving.
good thing about re001, it doesn't flex during extreme cornering. direct and progressive steering feel too. as a user of ps3 tire as well, i was surprised re001 give a more composed ride during downpour. perhaps, this is due to re001 being heavier than ps3.
btw, for city driving, i suggest you take a look at ps3, s.drive or v12, they're far more comfortable.

re001's sidewall is just too hard. coupled with a hard suspension, kl road potholes , speed bumps and you may say goodbye to your arm bushes / rubber parts on mounting.. a lot sooner!

Good answer... But I'm surprise leh, y all ppl told me v12 n v8rs cannot last???
I think the main reason is the pressure, my 2 set of v12 last leh... The recent set I bought at Jan 11 and now it has not even wear 30% also... My car is heavy hatchback 1.3ton, tire pressure maintain at 35psi and above for front but for the rear is around 32psi...
Maybe they all can drive 40k km half yearly... Not sure...

Have not... Y??? It does not suit me... I want performance tire and not comfort... So this range for me is not grippy or good enough...

bro this is what I am looking for bro for my daily driven car. I don't care about comfort and noise, just gimme the grip. I'll just nurse it to and fro work and let it loose sometimes....

federal 595 evo good?

Well make sure u meant it on the comfort... Cos it is much irritated someimtes it gets too bumpy...

not bad, but the price is almost same with ps3 at 15" so it makes me takes ps3... And i never regret
But for 16" & 17" it is cheaper than ps3 so I'll give this a try...

Comfort is not that bad, noisy is slightly noisier but the grip is comparable with ps3... Ps3 is a good a llm rounder but the side wall might be a lil soft for some ppl... Federal 595 Evo, is nice tontry though...

yeah! a lot of user using 'months' calculation instead of mileage covered. tire pressure is indeed important.
from my experience, coupled with a good tire, on constant abuse, nitrogen filling could last at 35psi for about 5 months!

a good buy! that is if you can stand the wind noise generated by the tread pattern. not as noisy as
dunlop fm901 which has the similar tread characteristic thou.

if it was mainly for city drive, you better think twice. but for 'tauge' purpose, re001 is top notch.
it stay planted at 170km/h in slightly winding and wet road on mex highway heading towards salak south toll.
re001 is quiet but if you're on hard adjustable suspension or sports spring, at times, ride can be too bumpy.
as mentioned, it will affect your bushes in the long run. unless you're going very slow on the potholes.
good thing, a used re001 tire always maintain its value

i totally agree with this... my bro in-law fixed it on his Civic, regret terribly as it generates a lot of noise even though at normal speed (50km/h ~ 100km/h) only...

oi,budak~
u cannot ask me in fb meh??
i gave u ceris cuz u like to drive hardcore~
otherwise i would have given u d michelin xm1 but not so grippy as certis on da road
