bridgestones or toyo's?

[glenn3]

I need a set of tyres and I have wittled it down to either Bridgestone's
RE 050 or Toyo's T1R.

They are both coming in at roughly £100ish so...

Which would you choose?

Also the bridgestones come with about 3 different models, GZ, EZ MZ.
does anyone know what model I should be going for??

Why dont you go for the RE-040 CZ these last 2 letters are compound strentgh

Goodyear Eagle F1's

Iv gone for T1-R's for £77 each 8)

Some people slate them but im more than happy!

this is an easy one for me, bridgestones win hands down, ive never had more scarey moments in all my life since i had toyos fitted!

i find them noisey, and slidey and will be changing back to re040s once ive wrecked these at the weekend on the 1/4.

Bridgestones all the way (although you need to get the right ones :wink: ). RE010's or RE050's are prob best if you want some wet weather grip!! :lol: (shame we can't get S02's) :roll:
Had GY F1's & Toyo T1-S's on my DC2, but preferred my m8's DC2 on SO2's. I tried Toyo's T1-R's on my DC5, and driven one on Dunlop Sport Maxx, and I much prefer the stiffer side walled Bridgestone's. The main thing I found was the difference in steering feel, and how the car reacts as you approach it's limits.

Julian at RareRims.Co.uk from ITR-DC2 will sort you out with a Set of Yoko Prada Spec 2'S for around £70 per corner i think Tell him i sent you!

Otherwise id go for the Bridgstones. Well i wouldnt id call Julian and get the Yokos

Every time. RE050.

 

[AdrianK]

Which RE050 tho is the question, im looking at new tyres too and cant decide between regular or Assymetric ones.

The RE050A's are cheaper and sem to have better reviews which to go for????

 

[AndyBITR]

The asymmetric tread patterns are supposed to be better at displacing water. Since I am in the West Central Scotland, that is a major consideration!! :lol: so I have the RE050A's on one set of wheels, and can't complain about them.

pradas are not available in the correct size for a dc5

 

[glenn3]

I listened to the majority vote and I have ordered a set of RE 050A's.

So I will let you know what I think of them next week.

Cheers lads.

 

[AdrianK]

Please do i will order my set shortly after you tell me how fantastic they are!
