Funny handling with RE070s


Recommended Posts

  • Admin

So I just went from MY01 225s on 17x7.5s to RE070s on 17x8's

I'm noticing (especially at low speed) that the steering is very... wayward? Twitchy? I'll be driving along a straight piece of road and it wants to twitch all over the place. Most commonly it wants to pull slightly to the left, but a fair amount of the time it's completely fine. Also fine at higher speeds (60kmh+?)

Is this the effect of a wider, much grippier tyre wanting to follow the road a lot more? Or is something funny going on here.

On a semi-related note, how often do you guys replace your PS fluid? I wonder if mines about due...

They grip like jebus but I'm not sure I'm in love with them... especially with the price, noise and twitchyness... but the grip is pretty phenomonal, coming from MY01s.

I kinda suspect they won't pass their next WoF in which case I think they'll be relegated to track-day tyres, one day maybe haha.

What would you guys recommend in a 17x8? RE001? RE11? P-Zero, T1R... the list goes on...

Yep i got this too when going to them.

All is forgiven when you drive them hard on a twisty bit of road....

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
