RE-01R Closeout!!!

[CSVT1214]

not available in my size BFG KDW2's it is

Good choice. They stick like glue but be prepared for tons of noise. Louder as they wear.

 

[Smalls]

noise is the least of my worries

 

[Kremithefrog]

I want to so bad!!! I think I might. They won't be like the r compounds but they'll be closer than just about any other non-r compound. The price is great.

I wish they had those in 235/40-17's. I'm in need of tires... they didn't last very long @ 16psi :laugh:

How is that possible? At $60 a tire thats already $240 plus shipping.

I had a gift certificate with a few bucks left over from christmas, i think before that it was around 250ish with shipping.

 

[Dyoel182]

Gotcha. That makes a lot more sense. My set is ordered!

Just got mine yesterday. And they are wide.

Yeah, they do seem so, I just got mine too, People run these on the stock wheels no problem??

Race tires are typically wider than regular street tires. My hankook r compound tires have about the same footprint as the re01r's and they fit just fine. What's a little bulge? These tires have a stiffer sidewall which will allow you to run them at slightly lower psi. Start at 36psi in the front and 34 in the rear. Go to an autocross to see how that works out. The first fast turn you take with these and you'll love the difference compared to other street tires.

Heck yeah! Thats the whole point!

If those 235/45/17s drop below $100 I think I'll jump on them.

i thought 225s were the widest we could go on our cars... no?

I always advise against putting 235's on a 7 inch wheel. 225 is better in every way on a 7 inch wheel. If you have a 7.5 inch wheel, 235/40 is a better size.

 

[morbid]

The problem is that there weren't a whole lot of 17" wheels made in our bolt pattern that were 7.5" wide. I waited several years before I found a set of 17x7.5's in the classifieds... and I run 235/40-17 on them.

You can put 245s on with the right wheel and sometimes spacers are needed and the fenders may need to be rolled... though you've gotta roll the fenders even on 215s and lowering springs sometimes... depending on the car and the wheels.

Tires just got here! Looks like 3 10/06 tires and 1 09/06 tires if the warranty paperwork is right. The delivery guys said "about a grand?" and smiled when I told him just over $300.

 

[zorrex]

Lol that's hilarious. My tires should be here Thursday or Friday. What sucks is I likely won't be home so I will have to go to the Fedex delivery center to pick them up :crazy:

I had to pay a smidge more...$330 because the only place I could get them shipped from was Nevada. Still cheaper than almost any other tire, though :laugh:

 

[Dyoel182]

Nevada! It told me the only option for shipping was from Indiana!
