[QUOTE="suherman, post: 4498855, member: 76837"] hi gents having read many posts on tyre choices and feedback id like to humbly ask for one from you guys. am currently on RE001 (195/50/15 fronts, 205/50/15 rears) and am looking at upgrades. the car is a RWD daily drive with the occasional weekend mountain drive thus i like my corners and dry grip. firm sidewalls are desirable here, also a sensible amount of wet grip is important too with our weather the way it is, but am mostly a sensible driver. issues like firmness, noise and wear are secondary (but am not looking for track tyres) as i can very much live with all that (current RE001's are at 20k and starting to be noisier than usual but isnt a big deal). reason am asking for suggestions is that i expect to put the car thru some modifications for a sensible increase in power (stock now at 115whp, upgraded expected am putting on an uprated street suspension setup (non-adjustable struts& springs + front and rear ARBS and strut bracing) and while not explicitly required, the manufacturer recommends a tyre increase to 205/45/16 fronts and 215/45/16 rears. with these sizes being next to impossible to source locally, am looking to keep my current wheel sizes but to upgrade the tyres in current sizes to handle the power increase while looking for increased tyre performance paraments, thus increasing my driving enjoyment. my tunnel vision sees the AD08 and RE11. i would think the v12 and t1r are parallel to the RE001's but am open to appreciate everyone's suggestions and opinions on the matter. many thanks to those who've stopped by.
