So similar to the Drift Tyre thread, Whats good with pros and cons, i am aware some of the drift tyres/brand may pop up here but if you use it for grip and have good experience with it, by all means share
Car: what car have you driven with these tyres on
tyre: Brand name
Size: size
Rim/wheels size: rim size or brand just to make it interesting
Surface: track, road, touge, sydney hume lumpy highway, wet weather etc..
reasons for this thread, a good list to go by when shopping for new tyres for grip use, guess i'll start
Car: s13 non turbo
Tyre: Bridgestones Adrenaline re001
Size: 195/50/15
Rim/wheels: 15x7 i believe, meshis borrowed off mates ae86
Surface: Wakefield Track, was wet to patchy wet surface
Tyres are bloody magnificent for the price you pay, but you ALL already knew that
after a punishing of 4 hot laps (out of 8-9laps) driving as hard as i could, the tyres really shine where it mattered the most, on understeer..
the tyres will scream out "your fucked!" but in that split 10years of slow motion you watching yourself about to hit the ripple strip and fly over into the grass and dirt, with reasonable amount of understeer in action, it actually still holds its own and turns into the corner still, save my ass about 4 times throughout the whole day on the track where i would of been thrown off the track into the grass due to understeer/hard braking/locking up the brakes/did not brake enough :right:
this is the best thing i found about the re001, saved my ass when i needed it to the most...did i mention my car is full stock?
the only thing i was doubtful about these were when they got really hot, i did notice the car started to slide off a bit from my driving line, even though i was well within 100% control, from the morning start till just before lunch time, the tyres were heating up and it was very noticeable when driving how much easier it was if it were to lose control and brake its maximum grip hold which resulted in not being able to drive 100% for the amount of time i had on the track per session i was out there for
