Good tire for summer action

Great tyre used for the every day commute, weekend B-road thrash and even on the track. I fitted a full set back in July 2018 and have only changed due to going for Cup 2’s. These tyres have proved to be very capable on track with astonishing good grip levels at the price point (well under other sport tyres). 100% will buy these again!

Now running my second set on an '07 Civic Type R. IMO the perfect combination for fast road/light track use. Once warmed up, they offer excellent grip and feedback, while still being better in the wet than 'proper' track day tires, and even better in the wet than a lot of road tyres. Still quiet enough for a daily driver, however they do tend to tramline a little on uneven surfaces (although a lot of this is due to suspension geo) . 9/10

Very, very good dry weather tire, if I only used the car in the summer then I would purchase again. Lethal in the wet, no grip in standing water and have little confidence in the cornering ability. Would not consider purchasing again.

Potenza re070 . IMO these tyres are brilliant for the money supplied and fitted was 175 for 2 from black circles . recently went to wales with a few of the lads an really tested them . I think although there a quality tyre I don't think they are the best for any roads with layers of dust dirt or gravel but on clean roads there one of the best . wet weather is where the tyre falls a little short . tends to slide at 65 to 70% of the limit so you may want to drive more leisurely if its teaming . I drive a 2006 sti so constant 4 WD helps . everyone always comments on the look of the tyre which doesn't help with grip but nice to know I spose lol

This is stock STi tyre and it is really good and also very cheap.

If you have a Subaru and use 17'' wheel don't even think about buying other tyres because there is no better tyre for the street. On the track you can get better performance only from competition tyres. It's a shame you can't get 18'' size of this tyre easily (at least in EU).

Have had them for one summer ~ 3.500km. Road grip is superb, reducing understeer. Have seen a trackday and prevented me from hitting the grass while attacking a corner too early. Very stiff side walls which transforms the way my car handles.

Wear is OK, expected to be worse.

Very noisy, and above 80 km/h in wet/rain you are playing with your life.

Good price.

Excellent dry grip, especially on track if they are up to temperature. Wet grip average, worsens significally if close to wear markers. Noise and wear are average, ride is a bit harsh around town, as the walls are VERY stiff. Would defenately buy again.

excellent tyre in wet and dry just a shame about limitd sizes

Perfect balance between a track-day tyre and an everyday tyre. Gives tones of grip on the track and the road with very good feedback. Only bad news the noise they make on every day speeds.

I drive them an a Clio RS Cup.
Great tire. Nearly the complete Clio RS Forum drives this tire on the Clio, if they drive on the Nordschleife.
BTG times around

These tyres come stock on the subaru impreza WRX STI.
I bought the car used, and wanted the orginal spec tyres to go with it, instead of the fitted cheap nankang tyres.
These tyres litteraly transformes the car into a supercar in corners.
The have tons of grip, and give almost unbelievle G's through bends. I could have mistaken them for trackday tyres like toyo R888, when it comes to dry grip.
It is also very easy to feel when you are approching the limit for grip, as the first understeer mildly before oversteering.
The ride is a bit harsh and stiff, but that is possible to live with.
The worst part of driving with these tyres is the noise. They actually produce as much noise as my studded contnetal wintertyres, when the winter tryes are driven on bare tarmac.
But the Re070 are all about preformance, not comfort.
I also think they would be a great combo for both daily and trackday driving.

I'm driving these on Norwegian roads. Norwegian roads are pretty poor, at least as bad as english country side roads.

They would probably be less noisy on smoother tarmac.

The tire is absolutely great! But probably depends on which type of car you drive them... I can suggest them 100% for impreza, and/or probably for others similar (awd) cars.

If you want know what word "grip" really means then buy this tyre. It is excelent choice while you are running on the edge and if you are not thinking about tyre wear. I drove these tyres for about 2000 miles 70% of almost track racing and some drifting and sides are now almost smooth. Center has a lot of rubber but I think they will last next 5000 miles max. If you are going with normal/agressive style for 50/50 they could do about 10-15k miles but you will be very happy after every faster corner and that is what they were built for.

If your looking for a tyre that really grips this is the one absolutely brilliant in the dry and still very very good in the wet fantastic
