I don't drive my car in the wet if I can avoid it, and these look like a hot set of 12" replacement tyres

They DJ01's are actually a good wet tire..



I think the A048R's look much more horn

i had very bad experiences with the bridgies... no traction and major understeer in the dry and simply dangerous in the wet (for anything other than sedate cruising) - i suppose its possible though that it was due to the tyres going hard with age (i've no idea how new or old they were when i bought the car). after putting up with them for 2 years, changing to a008's made it a completely different car to drive. So A008's have to get my vote because i have no experience with the A032R's or Dunlops though l've heard a few good things about them

Morris has had Brigie's 226's since we have had him and thats atleast 4 years.
Yep Sue and I give him a good going and I can not fault them at all...but the fronts are now warn and we will be purchasing new fronts next pay
A008's or the R's will get the nood here

I have raced on A032's, Formula R's and Hoosiers.

Hoosiers are track use only so not a consideration.

A032's a slightly better than the Formula R's especially in the wet. You may not go fast enough on the road to notice the difference though.

Most of the Targa Tassie cars run A032's so this is a good illustration of their application for road use as they have to take into account all conditions (wet/dry) and they have to last the event (wear).

That said I'd probably go the Formula R's if you aren't going to drive in competition. ($$$)

If you get either of these tyres please be aware they are DIRECTIONAL! Make sure the place you buy them from puts them on the right way. You can tell by looking at the tread which way is right. Remember the tyres must push the water back and to the side of the tyre. I see way too many cars with their super expensive high performance tyres fitted BACKWARDS!

Remember to ask about compound of the tyre you are buying. A032 comes in three compounds and I believe Formula R come in at least 2.

Dunlop Formular R's Had the Pair put on the front this morning and I love them. While they are still fresh Cornering feels lighter and more responcive.
I haven't done any off the mark power yet but I can't see any problems their
Thumbs up from me can't wait to try them in the wet

Yep bridgies on the back but they are not to bad, so we still have to be carefull but with Sue and Owen in the car this always happens anyway

having had plenty of experience with bridgestone sf226, kumho powerstars and falkens in both 10 and 12 inch,

i can say i liked the falkens the least, they broke away more suddenly, and would spin up easier than the bridgestones which i found to be a fantastic road tyre, which i belted the crap out of in hills runs etc, and i never had a problem with grip or tyre squeal.
having said that the yokohama a539's crapped all over everything else but did show signs of wear much quicker.

if you have the money, buy the more expensive tyres, and don't mismatch tyres, unless you like crashing.
