Currently im on re002 front and rear.. 195/55/15... Seriously damn good dry grip tire.. Gets my vote every time...

But, the only thing is that, its sidewall relatively soft, but compare to similarly sized t1r, i wud say the re002 fares better because ived sample the ride on similarly sized t1r on my friends ride, same model with mine, n can feels the front moving alot more during hard cornering... But, maybe u pair with 17" and 40 profile will bring better feel..

N it sounds really loud, but if u are choosing between these 2 tires, im guessing u are ok with these kind of performance tyre roar...

Already use this re002 for 16k kms ++, n tire thread is around 70% left, n whats most important is that, the feel is 85-90% like during 1st 10k kms

p/s; have u checked 205/40/17 how much per piece..??

Owh, 1more thing, the RE002 is either japan or thailand, not indonesia

R888 semi slick cannot compare with re002 and t1r, heck, even cannot be compare with the mighty re070.., Ofcourse it will bite the tarmac like cicak... But, once raining, sure cannot go any higher than 80-90kmh safely maybe.. N it surely wont last long
