Calling Bro. Izso.......

Basically both are extreme dry tyres. A lot more to choose from. Cheaper brands are Achilles 123 and Nankang NS-2R

That being said, my old Wira has stock internals. :slug:
Would give my car otherworldly levels of grip though.

Aren't those different category?

If daily driven, better go for UHP tyres which have better wet handling and more comfort.

I used to daily drive my car on R1Rs. Great in the dry, crappy when wet (as expected from extreme tires). Sturdy sidewalls and endless grip. I can't really compare to new cheaper offerings from Nankang or Achillies since I've no experience with either.

Currently on KU36s (although no longer daily driven).

Same, they are both extreme performance tyres... Toyo one is R1-R, T1-R then is UHP only...

He wants cheap also......

F1-D5 is not too expensive, the cheapest of the 3 but still around low rm400 I suppose.

I thought R1R is the UHP? Since R888 is the semi slick.

Also pwhyze, is it that bad on the wet? I've been told it's about as good as RS-Rs on the wet too. Then again, what are you comparing it to?

 

[pwhyze]

Both R1R and RS-R are extreme class, i.e one down from semi slicks. Federal's semi slick offering would be FZ-201.

Pretty bad I guess. I would be driving in the left lane at max 70km/h in heavy rain. Anything above, it would start aquaplaning. My other car on KU31 tires can be driven at 100km/h under the same condition no problem.

 

[issuzark]

My bad. I totally forgot about the FZ-201.
70 at best eh. That's honestly quite scary. What about normal rain conditions, like without standing water?
Im most probably jumping to the 002 boat if that's the case.

 

[pwhyze]

It's obviously better but once you've felt the aquaplaning sensation, you tend to hold back when you see rain drops, light or heavy..

RE-002 could be the sensible option. Price seems to have slightly dropped from RM3++ to RM2++ for R15. Nitto Neogens also might worth a try.

 

[issuzark]

Makes me wonder how much cheaper it is compared to the R1R. I'll try giving Hup Shun and Tek Ming a call. Heh.

He aiming closer to RM300 now....hahhahaha

You remind me of my friend on RE-070 on his Evo X, drive at 80kph when rain, until he swap them for GY Asy 2, then on to PSS....

Both tyres even though directional do not have straight line water channels. Standing water will be a problem, wet/damp roads should be okay

RE-002 is UHP category dy.....
