I race cars and have a number of other faster and slower cars, so I'm not looking for ultimate performance, but a decent tyre which steers nicely but doesn't overwhelm the car with too much grip or ruin the ride on the OE suspension - the RE002 seemed a great balance.
As far as I can see, the only alternative in the OE sizes for a tyre which has any kind of 'sporting' credential is the AD008 which is well reviewed here - anyone compared it to the RE002?
One issue - it appears the AD008r is only available in a 'V' speed rating (149mph)? Whilst I dont drive over this speed often, I have seen 160mph on the autobahn in germany with the W rated RE002s.
Thanks...
