Potenza RE-01R Review
First I want to thank TireRack for their great service (and really great prices!) These are the best summer tires I've had on any car (225/40/18 and 255/35/18). I replaced the OE Bridgestone Run-flats (which had a quite harsh ride and I felt every bump or hole). I've only put 250 miles on the new Potenza RE-01R tires, but they are noticeably quieter, steering response is improved and they are stickier. I have not 'pushed' the car yet, but plan to when it gets a little warmer. I am really looking forward the next track day when I will see if these tires give me more of an edge. I would rate these tires 9.0 out of 10 and for the price...10 out of 10! My only regret is that I did not buy 4 more

I have heard those tires perform great except they wear out really quick?

your screen name says VMR in it, so i'm going to take his opportunity to hound you about what your plans are for a 1er specific wheel setup!!! i'd love a nice set of silver CSL reps in 18x8.5 et40 & 18x9.5 et60 to go with my brand new stack of tires... lets make it happen!
