User Reviews:
- Mitsubishi Lancer (245/40 R17) – 1,000 miles on a combination of roads:
- Pros: Outperforms many others in its class in almost every way. Provides confidence and superb steering feedback at high speeds.
- Overall: Definitely addicted to it and would buy again.
- BMW M3 e46 (265/35 R18) – 8,500 miles on a combination of roads:
- Pros: Outperforms other tires like Yokohoma Advan AD08R, Federal RS-RR, and Hankook RS3. Fast turn-in response, high lateral grip, and very composed on the limit. Excellent wet grip for an Extreme performance 200TW tire. Extremely durable with consistent grip.
- Overall: Dominated the Time Attack event in NSW Australia. Would stick with these tires unless something better comes along.
- Mitsubishi (265/35 R18) – 60 miles:
- Cons: Too narrow for a 9.5″ rim, fits like a 255. No rim protection.
- Overall: Not satisfied with the purchase.
- Peugeot (205/45 R16) – 5,000 miles mostly on motorways:
- Pros: Extremely good in wet conditions and even better in dry. Provides good feedback on corners and instills confidence on turns.
- Cons: Low treadwear.
- Overall: Positive experience but didn’t get to test them for more than a year.
- BMW E92 M3 (265/40 R18 W) – 300 miles on a combination of roads:
- Pros: Comparable performance to RE71R but at nearly 40% off the price. Requires optimal cold pressure and heat for best grip. Resistant to heat with consistent grip over extended periods. Phenomenal wet grip. Impressive tire wear, especially during autocross and endurance races.
- Cons: Road noise, though not as bad as some other models.
- Overall: Highly recommended for both performance and value.
