If it's semi-slick, then i presume it's on the same range as AD07.

 

is it more expensive? I also presume that comfort is out of the window with such tyres Smile

 

 

I'm more keen on all-rounder at the moment.

It's not in semi-slick category (semi slick not LTA friendly). Yes it's on the same range as ADO7. Price wise, pretty pricey... SouthEast quoted me 205/45R16 for $240 [sweatdrop]

nah... not really what I want.. and the price is quite a killer.. Think the AD07 17inch is ard $240 when I check with Autobacs.

I've used the following comparably equal range of tyres before:

 

yoko ES100, BS GIII, BFG G-Force Sports, & currently on toyo T1R.

 

Verdict is the toyo T1R wins hands-down in every aspects of performance, comfort, & even price. It costs cheaper than the ES100 and GIII but is way better esp in the wet. Its brakes way better than the G-Force Sports (my previous 3 sets of tyres were all G-Force Sports). Surprisingly comfortable too for performance tyres. No horse run!! thumbsup.gif

 

There is one minor downside though... its wear rate seems to be slightly worse than the G-Force Sports. shakehead.gif Among the 4 brands I've used, the ES100 wear rate is the worst. sweatdrop.gif

T1R is over hype here with the movie Tokyo Drift. In drifting, U need to break traction. That's why they dun use very grippy tyres else U start breaking the diff, drift shafts gear box and such.

GIII is better than T1R in dry & dry braking but hardens after 18 mths.

 

If you are looking for dry grip and braking; then AD07 & R-S2 suits U better. R-S2 would beat AD07 in the wet
