I picked up a set of 14x7 RP-F1s the other week and now need tyres.
Major options so far are the Yoko C Drive in 195/60 or 185/60, or Bridgestone Adrenalin in 185/60.
Thoughts people?

not considering the RT615 at all? I'd go the RT615 or RE001 probably.

But aren't RT615's 195/60R14 so have epic sidewall and even more squishiness compared to adrenalins?
I don't like the sidewall flex on the adrenalins in 14" is there a better tyre?
The best tyre you can get is obviously the 185/60R14 Toyo R888 but I want something for the street only that lasts longer.

Wait is the RT615 a full on semi slick like the R888? Does anyone know a good price for them in 14"?

What are the Falken's worth?
What are peoples thoughts on sizing?
I think 195/55 would be ideal but that doesn't exist.

if you really want 195/55 you can import it from the states.

RT615 is a street tyre. I think the treadwear rating is similar to RE001. possibly a bit lower.

Also keep in mind that the RT615 is stupidly heavy in high sidewall sizes. They grip like a bastid though. One thing I have found with really sticky tires is that it does remove some of the fun that you get when you can slide around a little bit. They're almost too sticky for the amount of power available when street dríven. Re001 will give more grip than a Cdrive, but the Cdrive will outlast the Bridgestone.
