WR1 Owners Club

Been running on Bridgestone Potenza RE050A, covered approx 2000 miles since fitting. Im looking to change to Michelin Super Sport as the Potenza doesnt really inspire confindence at speed. Ive always fitted Michelins to all my cars in the past but due to the fact the WR came with Potenza's, I fitted a second brand new set.....

The Michelin gets top marks for dry grip, wet, road feedback etc, the Potenza on the other hand dosen't score near the super sport.

Anyone running on the Michelin super sport or have any opinions on the subject? Other than i'll have the Potenzas when you change over tyres

Wern't they P Zero Nero's as std?

Yes, but when i bought mine the car was shod with Potenza RE050. The Pirelli and Bridgestone about the same performance, so wouldnt touch the Pirelli

The Bridgestone Potenza RE070 was fitted to the Subaru WRX STI as standard, this tyre out performs the Michelin's dry grip, only by 2%. Overall the Michelin is a better tyre on paper than Bridgstone and the Pirelli. The RE070 though is another possible choice?

Personally I like the Eagle F1, used them for a few years on my Impreza Type R, and run them now on my WR1.

Yes good reviews also.

Ive just contacted my supplier and my size is on back order from Michelin.....so searching else where for a deal if they have the size.

Agreed.

I have just bought some Eagle F1 asymmetric 2s, and am very happy with them.
