    I think the treadwear is about the same as the RE070's,

    You might want to PM mckenzietj , he had a set but I think he may have picked those for autocross ended up selling them and not mounting them.

    I think I do remember him mentioning that the RE70 only being available in a 225 width, and that being a reason that he chose the RE01R tires.

    There was an article from Car and Driver that said Falken 452 were best handling. I'll see if I can dig it up.

    Uhhh what I meant was...Car and Driver did a test between this tire and the Falk 452 and they found that the Falkens were better overall.

    I just picked up a sent and they are very nice.
    I've heard they are quieter than falks which is important for me since this is a daily driver.

    tire noise has never really bothered me...

    are you looking for a street tire tal or something a bit beefier?
