It would be hard for me to say because I never tested the re01r's.

HMMM interesting. These look promising at the very least.

I just put a set of the 255/40/18's on my Evo X, and I am very impressed. They run quite a bit quieter then the stock Yokos on the X, and still offer plenty of daily street driving traction! I am sure they will out perform me old ES100's that I had previously!

I'm running the Nitto Invo's on my RX-8 and I love them! They replaced my Bridgestones and the difference was night and day.

I run 245 front and 275 rear, with TSW Kyalami 18x8, 18x9. 40mm, 35mm offset.

It's definitely a quiet tire, more so than the Bridgestones. Highly recommended!

Just mounted on Work Emo's, I put about 60 miles on them today. While I can't really explore the limits of grip here in Staten Island, NY, I did manage to head down to a shop (TT) in Edison, NJ today. At highway speeds the tire is super quiet, you wouldn't even think there is a high performance tire installed. Turn in is nice and instantaneous once again (much more than the Sumitomo HTRZ II's were that were on the car when I bought it) and the ride is very forgiving, which anyone living in the NYC area can appreciate. They feel similar to the stock Advans as far as grip, using NJ off ramps as a comparison test. No whine or ill manners at all, very solid, very comfortable to push the car with.

It's raining cats and dogs here, I just went out for a drive. The wet grip is phenomenal, plain and simple. Monster puddles were everywhere, no hydroplaning or drifting off whatsoever.

Grippy in dry and wet, quiet, comfortable, inexpensive, unique head-turning AND super functional tread pattern.....

Highly recommended.

i also saved about $100 a tire by gettting the Invo's over the Potenza re-01r's, purchased through wwwdiscounttiredirect.com
