I need sugestions for a tyre to replace the re001s i use to drift on!

[FAST EDDIE]

Howdy lads, im looking for a tyre to replace the re001s i used to use on the rear of my sr sprinter. reason i dont want to use the jap made 001s is because they fall apart realy quickly. Im looking for a tyre around the $100 mark. dont rate Kenda comets either.

Has anyone used re002s for drifting yet??

Thanks for your advice!

[AJPS]

bridgestone is replacing them with the re002...

and the re001 arent made in japan anymore

Try the re002, ive only run them on a non skid car

[thr55t]

I run federal 595's on my sr ke70 and they are awesome plus are only $105 per tyre

[Jacobxxx]

14's or 15's?

[FAST EDDIE]

15s mate, might have to look into federal 595s then!cheers for the advice

He's after skidders, friend who has SR Ke70 likes diamond back wheels, say they last for ever without delam.

I've got diamond back on my sil, got them from kmart t&a (cheapest tyre they have), they have zero grip in wet and aren't much better in the dry.

yes i get that ... but believe it or not the rears also need grip. I am sure Eddie knows this and might be the reason why he is using the Re001 to skid on ( i can only guess). So s-drives , a-drives r1 & sports would be on par with the re001.

s-drives more so .. jake jones ( drift squid) skids on s-drives with AD08 up front .

My comment was to steer him away from diamond backs, especially if he used to run re001's and wants similar! ;)

[Robo86]

what dont you like about the kendas? the grip? cant be the wear :P

maybe try the 002's when you can.

gotcha ;)

[FAST EDDIE]

yer the kendas were rely loose in high speed slides wheres the 001s you can keep your nfoot burried and they hold on! im getting 195 45 15 federal 595s by the looks of it

[ae86-13b]

go to calderpark they sell amazingly good and cheap tyres i use em on my 13bt 86 tones of grip i think there better then re001 there 55 each for 195 50 15 no delam grip all the way to belts i love them and swear by them i also use them on my street drift 180sx 18inch 225 40 18 stretch on 10inch rim 72 each agin top tyres

[ke_70]

thats the 595's yeah? evos or normal ones?

[Panda BVB700]

being an sr powered car id say go for the evos they are a better tyre over all and you'd definently have the power to use them to there potential

would be a tad difficult, being in sa and all

[Tas AE86]

try some 595 evo's. They only come in 195/50 but felt grippier than the 205/50 RE001's I have tried.
Only $90 a tyre too

[H8CHIR6KU]

i thought zetums were awesome. they just older kuhmo's. always wore all the way to the belts. great grip too
awesome tyre for a 195/50 @ $85 each

or you can go to the kumho ku35 but they more expensive @ $120 a tyre. again same as the zetum. always good grip and wore to the belt

[ae86 slide]

[FAST EDDIE]

[ke_70]

[kriss]

im sticking with 001's, been told by the guys at Bridgestone the 002's arent worth the extra money
