I'm looking at getting some MF10's and wanted to know what the best Potenza tire would be for the 16x7 rims.

I know King used Potenza's at a width of 225, and I wanted a simialr set-up.

What choices do I have for a good tire that would be for mainly dry weather and performance but not quite an R compound?

 

S03 or RE01

 

The Potenza RE010 Are pretty good tires. I would have not switch to Azenis if the RE010's were not so expensive.

 

RE-070, but too bad they don't make it in appropo ITR size

 

advan neova ad07 but too bad you have to import them from japan

 

Iggy, FWIW - Dunlop has started importing their new Direzza DZ101 tire to the US; it's been out in Japan for maybe a year so it's a pretty new design. Tire Rack has some limited sizes - prices seem comparable to the Yoko ES100 (basically the DNA GP in Japan, which has been out for like forever).

Or maybe wait and hope Bridgestone decides to bring over the RE55 and RE01R

 

I can't find the RE-070 Yoshi, well at least not from tirerack.

Kengs where can I find RE-01R tires? Can they even be imported?

 

That's a nice tire.. or so it looks...

215/45R16

Now thats a badass tire!

 

anymore info on RE-01R? I can't read jap

 

The RE01R and the Advan both look like track tires (R compound). Track tires are great on the track, but wear too fast to make them suitable for street use.

The best street tires around these days are the Bridgestone S-03, the Goodyear F1 GS-D3, and the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. They're all excellent tires.

 

the advan is a S compound

dunno about the re01R

I have S03's on my MF10's and I'm loving it.

 

The new RE-050 is also good. The Ferrari Enzo comes with it stock.

I changed my mind; Tire Rack says the treadwear rating on those is 300

BTW, the Advan AD07 is a great street tire. I've had mine for almost a year now

Holy chit!! That is nice!

 

The RE01-R is R compound, at least thats what I read off the siderwall of the prototype model in the Bridgestone office building display case here in Nihombashi Tokyo...These tires look amazing, even in that pic above... If they get released in the US, ill be buying for sure as my first trial of an R compound tire...

Has anyone used (or has any experience) the RE01?

 

Michelin Pilot Sport is a good tire too - expensive though
