I say hell yes. Remember to rotate much more often though.

***rippars*** · 09-10-2007, 11:48 PM

***07mugencivic*** · 09-10-2007, 11:49 PM

samx109 · 09-10-2007, 11:51 PM

The RE-01Rs are pretty much race tires disguised with road tread. The RE-050 Pole Positions are less so, but still very good. Heck, I'm running the RE070's and I'm very happy, with the pole positions the next set I'll try before the 01Rs.

i was looking at Bridgestone REO50A Pole Position but i liked the nitto neogens i got them a third time around...

samx109 · 09-11-2007, 12:01 AM

Yup, quite a bit more road noise on the freeways, but not too much more on the city streets. They grip very well, and the sidewell flex is minimal, if any at all!

I was waiting for you to say that.

***Spencer@tirerack*** · 09-11-2007, 01:16 PM

those tires are oustanding!

sick06si · 09-11-2007, 01:42 PM

Great tire! I have had them for about 2 months now, with street/track/autox use. These are much better, in my opinion, than the Falken 615's I used previously.

***NitrousG35*** · 09-11-2007, 04:06 PM

I plan on wrapping some RE-01R's around some Motegi Traklite 2.0's. Great tire.
