Kr_toy 1st Gear January 2, 2011 Share January 2, 2011 toyo t1-r may slightly better on wet, but for dry no comparison rs-3 much more grippy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiadaw 6th Gear January 2, 2011 Share January 2, 2011 (edited) You consider Bridge stone RE 050a Pole Position. I am looking at these as an option. Not sure if got the size. I think its cheaper than the F1 Asymmetric (Summer) Edited January 2, 2011 by Kiadaw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perlionex Neutral Newbie January 2, 2011 Share January 2, 2011 I'm currently using Toyo T1R, as Kr_toy says they're excellent in both dry and wet. I drive quite spiritedly as well and they've held up very well in a variety of situations including fast cornering and hard braking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jchuacl Clutched January 2, 2011 Share January 2, 2011 What's wrong with bs tyres ? I find it strange that many posters choose tyres based only on certain brands rather than by merits . nah, not a fan of bridgestones. doubt theres size too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostami 2nd Gear January 2, 2011 Share January 2, 2011 This is base on what was mention by the Hankook salesman in woodlands. V12s is more comparable to T1R, whereas RS-3 is more comparable to AD08. This is what I hear, maybe users who used all the tyres mention before you can advise on the comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galantspeedz Turbocharged January 2, 2011 Share January 2, 2011 (edited) Used t1r over 2 sets... Not much complaints.... But thong aik mentioned to me t1r is gonna phase out so recommend me Toyo drb.... But I feel drb sucks... T1r is good though Rs-2 never try so dunno. Tyres use for alot of spirited driving especially on MY b-roads Edited January 2, 2011 by Galantspeedz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucaswh 1st Gear January 2, 2011 Share January 2, 2011 Just found out that T1R comes in the odd size of 195/50/R16 from the website. Thinking of changing over from my BS001s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockngbrd Supersonic January 2, 2011 Author Share January 2, 2011 (edited) What's wrong with bs tyres ? I find it strange that many posters choose tyres based only on certain brands rather than by merits . cos i chose it based on my own merits already? and i dun like how BS-ed tyres performed when i had em? doing some online research seems R-S3s are ok for normal driving on wet roads, so might go with the Hankooks. I wld hav gone for the V12s but for the size i am looking at, the only tyres they have is the R-S3 Edited January 2, 2011 by Mockngbrd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galantspeedz Turbocharged January 2, 2011 Share January 2, 2011 Hopefully Hankook still have the 30% off promo... You want Hankook better fast hand fast leg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiadaw 6th Gear January 2, 2011 Share January 2, 2011 (edited) Damn, Hankook RS3 don't have my tire size... Such a pity. Just curious, whats the rought price for the RS3, after discount? Edit: I just realize the thread wear is only 140! It will wear out real soon. I don't know if its a consideration for you guys. I was tempted by the Bridgestone R888 as well, but thread wear even worst at 100!!!. Edited January 2, 2011 by Kiadaw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockngbrd Supersonic January 3, 2011 Author Share January 3, 2011 Yea I read online bout the hankook threadwear... But i dun drive it daily so I figured it'll be ok Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuoom 1st Gear January 3, 2011 Share January 3, 2011 RS3 is the replacement for the RS2. which in turn is usually compared to the AD07. you can probably draw your reference from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiadaw 6th Gear January 3, 2011 Share January 3, 2011 How's the performance for the BS050A? There are a few variants of Bridgestone 050a. The verson to get is the Potenza RE050A Pole Position(Max Performance Summer). Look out for the word Pole position on the sidewall. TireRack.com->RE050A Pole Position Its a level lower in dry traction than Extreme Performance Tires, like Bridgestone RE11, Dunlop Z1 star spec, or the Hankook RS3. But in return, you get better thread wear (last longer), better wet traction, & of course cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toalson 1st Gear January 3, 2011 Share January 3, 2011 Thanks bro. Was given the following options as well; CPC2 CSC2 Mich HP Hankook V12 How would BS RE050A stand in terms of safety and comfort? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockngbrd Supersonic January 3, 2011 Author Share January 3, 2011 ^ ^ ^ hmmm how come one of my posts got deleted was posting bout my dilemma currently becos reasons i'm looking for tyres is becos one of my front tyres has a bump in it and causing it to be wobbly. Was wondering if i should stay with the current brand (PZero Rossos at $370 a piece just for the fronts) and just change the fronts only or change to more wallet-friendly brands (sub $300 a piece f/r) but those will require changing the rears as well... dilemma ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
