Plus, they perform equally or better in dry weather, and they perform phenomenally better in wet weather. Got 30K out of the RE050 fronts, so that's not bad. I just replaced all four last month with new Invos and went up to 255 width in the fronts to match the size up in the rears I had already done. |
mr. jar- im not sure how to reply to your post. the RE050A's aren't really meant to last very long. they grip fairly well for an oe tire. the pole position variant did grip much better than the standard RE050A. i usually got 8k miles on the rear pair, maybe 16-17K on the front. im not a fan of nitto tires.
(actually not a fan of toyo, nitto, and falken tires, and do not ride on korean brands either not that i hate them, i dont care for them).
i found the DW's wear well. im not so sure if i want my hobby car to have long wearing tires because i dont put much milage on them to begin with. i'd almost prefer it wears around 10k miles so that i can replace them withtout feeling im throwing away tires that are 'still good.'
like any rubber, after a while the tire gets dry and they dont grip as well as they did new. so i cycle them once every 3-4 years even if there is decent tread on them.
my tire of choice are:
Yokohama Advan Sports (not bad! on my Z right now)
Bridgestone S04 (very good, on my G right now).
Bridgestone RE11 (will be on my nismo's next).
Michelin PSS (have not tried, but mr.onzedge says very good! does not come in 285/35/19 though
)

I was looking through the options last night and most of them are Logitech, Creative or Altec.... plastic casing micro speakers... For $150...
Came across the Harman Kardon and looked up couple reviews and they score average of 4 to 4.5 out of 5 in most customers' reviews.
Then I rather spend $150 for a set like that than a set of those plastics...
Have fun hunting...  |
thanks, mr.alcheng!
yah, im still undecided but will continue to hunt.
