I found some !!!!

[Furyous]

According to ITR-DC2, Bridgestone RE010's for my Teg are rarer than the proverbial holy grail.

Having had a quick call with our trade supplier at work, it didnt immediatly look promising.

However, this afternoon I spent about 20 minutes phoning around the local tyre firms, and lo and behold I found a set of 4!!!!

And they only wanted £220 for the set !!

Result !
Well chuffed, now I can start enjoy my Teg as Honda intended.......

No sh't! I paid £67 a corner last month.

Nice result Mark - you'll notice the difference once they're scrubbed-in...

I have jap rubber on my DC5 215 45 27 Potenza RE01-R

[Xenocide]

I'm going to need some at some point...

Hard to get hold of then?

I know they were the original tyres the teg came with, but I dont see the fascination myself... particularly as they are apparently rubbish in the wet. I have Falken FK-451s on mine and they are great, wet or dry, and cheaper too.

Then again though I do have a 98 spec JDM which is supposed to have 215R16s and they could be a little (as in extremely) expensive so I cheat and put 205R16s on mine

Dont forget Im a noob to ITR's, and Im keen to experience the car as standard or as near to how Honda wanted before I start making my own opinions.

Wet grip isnt as crucial as dry handling to me, so we will see how they fare.


The only other tyre I would consider at the moment are Yoko AD07's, but Im not convinced they are available in the right size.

They are a bit.

But in the dry they're superb - the 15" rims need a stiff sidewall as otherwise the handling loses a little 'edge' to it, and there aren't many performance tyres out there with that stiff sidewalls.

Your 16"s are a different matter - lower sidewall means you don't need as stiff a tyre. It's exactly the same story with the S2000 on 16"s then 17"s...
