RE-01Rs arrived!

I took delivery of my current tires, Neova AD07, early February this year which means they lasted me 19 track days! Their days are numbered now. The fronts still have about 2mm of thread on them but as they are also my road tires this is not so good on wet days. They gotta go.

I'll write up a few thoughts on the differences in the 2 tires when I finally get to try the RE-01Rs out on the circuit. Next day is the 13th. Apparently they are quite different. Hearsay has it that they are better for braking and acceleration where as the AD07 provides more lateral grip. I'm looking forward to experiencing this first hand!

I'm getting them fitted on Saturday at Yellow Hat and am then going to get an alignment done with D-Technique for good measure. Its the best timing to do that on the new tires.

I paid 23,000 yen per tire where as the Neova last February cost me 16,700 per tire. Still that's the cheapest price I've seen for my tire sizes.
