Tryes for 14x7

[Jeo]

I picked up a set of 14x7 RP-F1s the other week and now need tyres.
Major options so far are the Yoko C Drive in 195/60 or 185/60, or Bridgestone Adrenalin in 185/60.

Thoughts people?

[broady]

not considering the RT615 at all? I'd go the RT615 or RE001 probably.

[Jeo]

What are the Falken's worth?

What are peoples thoughts on sizing?
I think 195/55 would be ideal but that doesn't exist.

[philz]

if you really want 195/55 you can import it from the states.

The best tyre you can get is obviously the 185/60R14 Toyo R888 but I want something for the street only that lasts longer.

R888's also come in 205 55 r14, had them on my car for a while now and been very happy with them. mainly for track work tho...

[Jeo]

Not sure about the others but I'm talking street tyres.

RT615 is a street tyre. I think the treadwear rating is similar to RE001. possibly a bit lower.

[Jeo]

Cool. Was just concerend when the comparison with the R888 came up

I'll look into them.

Also keep in mind that the RT615 is stupidly heavy in high sidewall sizes. They grip like a bastid though. One thing I have found with really sticky tires is that it does remove some of the fun that you get when you can slide around a little bit. They're almost too sticky for the amount of power available when street dríven. Re001 will give more grip than a Cdrive, but the Cdrive will outlast the Bridgestone.

Ordered a set of RE001's today, being fitted tomorrow

[sliq]

what size rubbers did you end up getting?

i'll be looking for a set to suit some 16 x 7 and 16 x 7.5's soon and want something phat, not tire stretch sounds like you'll be having some crazy stretch like mxhevn

[Jeo]

Yea, ended up going 185/60. They're a little stretched but nothing too silly. I'll try to get some straight on shots of the tyres if you'd like.
