wats ur priority? rain? track? touge? etc etc
ive never tried the re002...but currently running on T1R... good for normal daily drive... but for hard driving the sidewall is pretty soft.. and for track use... totally not suitable... id recommend the RE002 either way |

QUOTE(kevvin99 @ May 13 2012, 10:11 PM) scared 002 not so good cause made in indonesia im not really a believer in the "made in where" thing when it comes to tires... coz if the formulation is the same... then it shouldnt be different now would it?thx for the reply  Added on May 13, 2012, 10:14 pm more like weekend drive how t1r handle? good grip? wanna get re002 but scared made in indonesia quality not so good thx for the reply Added on May 13, 2012, 10:16 pmsize i am using now is 205/40/17  my experience was with the Falken Azenis ST115...ive tried BOTH made in japan and made in indonesia (manufacturing moved to indon after falken decided its EOL)...1 right after the other... absolutely no difference... and the feedbacks ive heard so far about the re002 are all good...never tried it personally... my last experience with a potenza was with the RE711 which was 10 years ago...now that tire was good....not so good in the rain though...just acceptable as for T1R, on track not much grip....understeering really bad and the rear was also dancing around. that and also the soft tire walls were flexing like mad....tire felt like it wanted to pop out of the rims on alot of the corners... ive never really pushed it on public roads, coz my balls are not made of titanium... but ive done 140km/h on highway during a heavy rain and it felt planted. currently using 195/55/15 |
