(Yes, I search... which is partially why almost never make new threads )

Anyhow,

Well, so the other day I went to an Acura Dealer and asked the parts counter for RE010's... they were totally puzzled and thought I was a crazed maniac for insisting that these were the tires that came on the ITR.

In fact he said, and I quote, "as far as I know, they must have been RE92's, those are our best selling tires". My GF's EL (aka. high-end civic that Acura makes up here for us canucks) comes with those... I mean... how could those come on the type AAAaaRrr.

So after arguing him for a bit, he told me that I should probably check other tire places, which I responded that this tire was only available through Honda/Acura dealers...

Getting to the point, he told me to come back with a part number, because they were "coming up" on the system, so... do RE010's even have a Honda Part Number?

to my knowledge honda and acura get there tires through dealertire which i think is a sister company of tirerack i dont think there is a honda part number

 

There is no Honda part number. However, there is a Bridgestone part number, shown on the specs on Bridgestone's website. For the stock size RE010, it's 058-947.

Each dealership can buy tires wherever they want...

 

AAAH!

Stay away from dealers for tires. They make their margins at the service/parts department.

Plus, any place dedicated to tires will probably do it faster.

Ditto. Get ready to be OwNed if purchasing tires at a dealership.

 

Actually, I disagree. My advice would be to check the Tire Rack price first, then talk to the dealer and see if they will match it. Keep sales tax and shipping in mind too.

My dealer charges less for mounting/balancing tires than the independent mechanics and tire shops near home.

If it's more expensive at the dealer, sure, go elsewhere. But it doesn't hurt to ask how much they charge.

I guess my dealer/tire experience is getting charged out the wazoo at a Chevy dealer for a replacement Goodyear Eagle RSA (Really Shitty Adhesion). I've heard that story a lot, I guess, but not for Hondas and not while having a good quote in-hand for a similar tire.

Anyhow, I'm too lazy to drive to a competent dealer. Glad you found a cheap one.

I loved Discount Tire when I lived in Fort Worth, the guys at that particular one rocked! Now I get tires from Frisby in Gurnee, random local shop I found on H-T.

This is the Honda part number for the RE-010:

42751-ST7-G01

Me too. Frisby rockz nadz!

 

Awesome! Thanks guys for all your help... Off to get some new shoes... for next year that is...

I know they are a rip compared to other tires at better prices... but I really loved these tires to their very last cord...

Not necessarily. Not when you factor in treadlife in computing "bang for the buck". When you do that, a low-priced, fast-wearing tire like the Azenis then loses much of its price advantage. Some of the price advantage is also lost when you factor in the cost of more frequent mounting/balancing.

These numbers are easy to calculate. Let's say you get 12K miles to a set of Azenis, and 20K miles to a set of the RE010 (these are about as much as most folks get for each of these tires, although a few get more), and you pay $15/tire for mounting/balancing. That means that every 60K miles, you are buying and installing five sets of Azenis for a total of $1800 (5x($300+$60)), or three sets of RE010 for a total of $1740 (3x($520+$60)). So on a per-mile basis, the RE010 is actually less expensive than the Azenis.

Granted, there are some other tires that are cheap and last a long time (such as the Yokohama AVS ES100), but their performance isn't on a par with the RE010.

 

20k miles on RE010s??? Sounds good to me, is this realistic?

Really I was at Jay Wolfe Acura today and they said that this is the part number
42751-BR1-033

also they have a set for sale 50 bucks a tire!!!!1!!!

 

The part number I gave is the Euro RE-010. Probably not exactly the same. The Euro version has a W speed rating.

Yes, absolutely.

Most folks get 15-20K miles to a set of RE010, just like most folks get 10-12K miles to a set of Azenis. I picked the upper end of both ranges. But I could have picked the lower end of both ranges and reached the same conclusion; for all practical purposes, the cost per mile of these two tires is almost exactly the same.

FWIW, I currently have over 25K miles on my original RE010 that came on my ITR when I bought it new, and that includes 241 actual track miles. I still have two to three 32ndths of tread before the treadwear indicator bars are flat across.

So do you think that they are stickier than AVS ES 100s???

 

ray... order the tires and get them mounted in buffalo or the states... MUCH much cheaper... re010's and just tires in general are $$$$ up here. take advantage of the lame US dollar.

If they are not, which I really doubt, the RE010s will be better in every other catagory.

If you have an R and never used these tires on stock size rims- Your missing out!

ES100's suck big time. The RE010 is far superior in the dry for certain. I cannot compare in the wet.

Consider getting S-03's rather than the RE010 if you're going to the States for the tires. Or if you want to save more consider trying the KDW-2.

I'm talking in a 205/50/15, which should run just fine on your wheels. My friend fso_BamBam has been running those for a long time on stock rims IIRC.

Agreed.


I'm wearing out the last of my yok's right now... enjoyed my RE010's much much more. got much better wear out of my potenzas on the road, they handled my abuse on the track a LOT better as well and handling was great in the dry. handling in the wet was fine with the RE010's, can't really say with the ES100's since I've wore off most of the tread in a month this summer. worth the extra $ IMO. i'll probably be going back. but for how cheap they were, i shouldn't complain.

Yes, definitely.

The RE010 is significantly better for dry traction and handling feel. They're both good for wet traction. The ES100 lasts longer and is a lot less expensive. Those are the trade-offs; use them to decide what is best for your particular priorities.

I ran re010s on 15x7 for about 15k miles; the steering response is awesome. Still using 195/55-15 Advan AD07s now (instead of 205/50-15) for same reason.
