The RE070's are almost done after 23k miles. Thinking about these as a replacement...



I saw them on the ESX STi at Mastro the other day. Anyone have any experiences with these? From what I've read, they perform well and are considerably cheaper.

 

well, if all else fails.. atleast they look shek-C!!

 

I have heard good things about them too. But personally after driving on RE070s before, i wouldnt ever use any other tire on a 17" wheel, and you can find them cheap on NASIOC, or IWSTI.

 

The KDW's are loud, not as sticky as people make them out to be, and don't last as long as the RE070's.

 

Have a look at the Falken Azenis RT-615. This is a very popular tire for our cars and I will be getting a pair when I ware the stockers out.

Check it out at falkentire.com

 

+1 The Falkens will be my next set of tires. I have heard nothing but good things from these tires.

 

I got rid of the re070 for the rt615's Much better in the rain and just as good when its dry

 

Those suck and they get VERY loud as they wear. Get the Azenis 615's.

 

I had the KDW's i liked them alot but they were really loud and didnt last very long at all.

 

I have them on my car now. They really suck, except in the rain in which case they are awesome. I know that no tire has a sidewall that is as stiff and RE070's, but these things are ridiculously squishy. They grip just fine, but you have to run really high tire pressures to not get the tire to roll over on the sidewall when cornering hard. I really think that if BFgoodrich stiffened up the sidewall, these tires would be awesome. Till then, don't bother.
