[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 1750736, member: 27518"] oops!! I meant 25,000kms... not 25000K!! ROFL!! typo! sorry!!! Mine wears really well.. at 200Kpa, (checked every week) it wears evenly.. of course, my front camber is only 0.5 degrees negative (just measured when doing alignment two days ago), versus the rears, which are 2 degrees negative (usually). (currenly left side is showing 1.54, which cannot be fixed with spacers, and I'm not going to take a grinder and grind .5mm off the mounts. still pondering what might be the problem.. perhaps bushing worn?) was going to removing the left rear arm assembly today, but didn't manage to complete it. But that's my best guess for now Even so, my rears wear evenly as well.. with no apparent preference to eat the insides. (probably because I don't go fast on the straights, or launch a lot. Actually the shop has ST115's, but according to my friend, from the way I like to take the corners.. it won't have as much grip as the RE-01Rs or the Azenis RT. Anyway, running this kinds of tires usually means keeping two sets rims (eight rimslah!). One for the look factor (nice rims that you install normal tires for driving around), and another for those days you feel like 'pushing' a little harder (long distance midnight/late night driving across states).. still cheaper than buying a second car.. and I run non racing clutches (organic) for better feel when driving in the rain.. I still don't know how people can manage driving fast in the rain with a racing clutch that doesn't slip at all. And with the thin materials... I don't fancy taking out the G/Box every now and then either. Some of the people who say they can get RE-01Rs for me quote RM700 each! And some that do offer cheaper says they can only source 16" ones.. which are also RM700+! Crazy! 195/55R15 RE-01Rs should be around 400-500 each! since it's only about 11,300 yen at retail stores in Japan... and considering shipping charges and taxes.. cannot be that expensive mah? Want to untung oso don't kill peoplelah.. I'm not buying ONE tire, you know? Anyway, the wear on the RE-01s are because I've been using them everyday for the past 4 months. They suck when they're cold, but doesn't take much to warm them up, and they don't overheat easily. Anyway.. I've used tires that can last more than a year, but Malaysian weather usually makes them useless (hardened) way before the year is up.
