marvis
10th June 2011, 10:39 AM
Re001 do 185 60.
AJPS
10th June 2011, 11:46 AM
185/60 will be the smallest
which is the right size for a corolla

have you tested these out yourself yet Dave?
AJPS
10th June 2011, 04:37 PM

10th June 2011, 04:45 PM
sounds good. I'll be chosing these or 001's again for my 15's

Will there be multiple sizes in 14? Kind of after something a little wider than the 185/60, it's just too much stretch on an 8.5. 205/55-60/14 would be epic but I won't hold my breath. 14's aren't that common anymore so I doubt there will be too much support for the size.
ke_70
11th June 2011, 09:41 PM
i'd say they'd do the exact same sizes if not less...

I would say 185/60 only

14th June 2011, 07:09 PM
thats shit, once i go through my stash of re001 14's i guess it will be time for an upgrade to 15" steers.
*edit*
any feed back on those re002's from the other night?
AJPS
14th June 2011, 10:00 PM
yes, a lot better than re001 in equiv size in dry, will try in wet next time it rains..
the 17s were made in Indonesia
ke_70
14th June 2011, 11:11 PM

john84ie
14th June 2011, 11:18 PM

ke_70
14th June 2011, 11:56 PM

john84ie
14th June 2011, 11:58 PM

Is this actually true, Lawson? No more 185/60 RE001, or just no RE002?
AJPS
15th June 2011, 02:22 PM
