Robo 2nd Gear September 3, 2008 Author Share September 3, 2008 i was told by the uncle rs2 will lose to f1 in terms for daily use plus f1 definately have a better wear rate than rs2. in the end decided on f1 after much recommendation by the boss...was actually looking at rs2, re001,f1 and ad07. perhaps next round will choose others, still in the process in searching for the tires that best suite me.. so far after ytd's wet weather the tires i must say quite good.. it has increase my confidence level i mean in terms of assuring me that i wont skid that easily in the wet plus i know go thru puddles of water no problem liao! but while looking at the rear view mirror i realised the way f1 cut water the car behind must be cursing me all the way. 1 small hiccup thou, in my place's mscp i tried turning a bit faster but the rear sway abit too.. not as much as my old set of tyres but it was still noticable. perhaps in mscp its best not to try to be a bit faster. and prolly its that the rubbers havent got season yet. will fr again after 500km ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafansu Turbocharged September 4, 2008 Share September 4, 2008 re001 i was quoted $120/pc for F1 was $120/pc.. i dont think these two tyres at same price, re001 should be more ex. if same price go for re001 then. f1 only good in wet grip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo 2nd Gear September 4, 2008 Author Share September 4, 2008 yeah... paiseh typo error... f1 is $85 re001 is $115 wanted to try f1 long ago so took it instead of re001. the grooves realy damn swee.. next round of rubber will be re001. but that will be prolly 45k later i hope..

Darkblue 1st Gear September 4, 2008 Share September 4, 2008 significant difference? Price + Grip Groove design helps in aqua-plane, tire surface compound is also very important (Google it). Thats where German shines Don't expect paying less and yet get the same performance.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santav Neutral Newbie September 4, 2008 Share September 4, 2008 since u r not tracking, thai F1 r gd enuff. no worries abt slipping on wet mscp as the F1 is made to squeal to alert the driver (not a bad thing) much like some models of dunlop.
