Potenza RE-01R vs. Neova AD07

Well I've narrowed down to these 2 tires. I hear they are damn similiar with the potenzas winning because of price. All you fellas running and/or have ran these tires in street touring classes, what are you alls thoughts on either of the two...

You bastards that you have this choices.
They are both not available in Australia

What I have read in Japan's review. Takashi Ohi in RevSpeed rate the Advan AD07 slightly higher than the RE01R simply because it has more control in the limit, meaning in drifts. AutoX around the cones they are both good. However, if you are going on any more than 2nd gear corners, you are probably like the Yokohama more, since it is more progressive on breaks.

I will certainly do not mind either one for sure!

How far behind are the Kumho MX's and 615's compared to the Yokohama and Bridgestone? The price difference is fairly substanstial....

Not really. Hear about the drunk Aussie who sued when he ran his car into a phone pole and had permanent physical damage? Judge agreed there should have been a sign identifying the pole.

Not just America.
