Do people still use Nitto NT01s? Its been nearly ten years since I've seen one of those in Australia.

I assume your EK isn't a daily driver and grip is your main priority, especially from the lights or on a pull. I'd go RE71RS or CRS, I wouldn't bother buying any of the other mentioned. I am now running A052 (despite saying I wouldn't) and they have the best cold performance from what I've experienced.

@@rhysrhysrhysI just drive it a couple of times a week and yeah grip is what I need. Funny you mention the A052 as I was actually just checking them. Might go with them if they've good from cold.

@rhysrhysrhys what offset do your wheels have and what size are the A050's? I've got 15x8 +28 wheels and not sure of I should go 225 or drop down to 205 as they're a taller tyre and I don't want that much negative camber to make them fit wheel

EK4 Civic, the same car that is in all my other videos.

Other than a few goes on friend's sims, I've never spent any driving on them. I'd say I'm a terrible sim driver. If your local tracks or clubs have driver coaches, it'd be a worthy exercise for them to observe and highlight some improvements before you development (or further development) some negative driving habits. Sharing your videos and data (racechrono for example) with other people with varying experiences can also be helpful.

Its a multiclub event run by the club based at the RAAF base (RACES). They run it four times a year. Next one is 15th September and then 1st December. Entries for September are up on the GCC website - gippslandcarclub.com.au/supp-regs/

I've never had the same size in both. 225/45/15 in a CRS is wider than a 205/50/15 RE71RS as you'd expect. CRS has a more square profile, so you might get a little more width from a 205/50/15 compared to a RE71RS.

It was quite fun with this setup! Hoosier A7s on a 15*9&8 stagger, small wing and splitter. The car has always been on MCA Reds. Covid and now child/ren interrupted the aero development, so the car is now much simpler (and slower) for the time being

Anything made before 2023 is V1.

@@rhysrhysrhys brilliant - it sounds great. Were you running C7 Improved Prod at Rob Roy? ✌️

I came in 6km faster than I had all day, so a little slower on entry could have meant more control. Also not focused on the cone on the track and looked to where I was going rather than there. Past that, I could have accelerated instead of braked when the rear stepped out and it could have straightened out. It could have also stepped out the other way and who knows where I would have ended up at a much faster pace than I hit the wall this time. Overall, considering the speed I lost the rear (145km), I think I came out of it quite well.

@@rhysrhysrhys Glad you got out of it unharmed with minimal damage.

I went in pretty deep as this was my first clear lap after dealing with frustrating traffic and I was keen to post a good lap. I don't think anything other than that sneaky cone was on the track.

I haven't searched fishing boats on Marketplace yet...!

"Private road" in Australia.

They'll be fastest the first and second laps, then get slower throughout the session. The drop off doesn't seem as dramatic as what I've seen from A052 or A050gs. I last drove on A050 mediums back in 2017, they always required a lap or so to get up to pace and then were fast for the whole session. Depends what you're after from a tyre. I do think A050m is the best tyre for smashing lap after lap after lap, especially because they are as fast down to the cords.

@@rhysrhysrhys OK. Thanks. I currently use A050s for sprint days. All I need is 1 quick lap per session. The CRS is a lot cheaper than the A050 in my size, so Im keen to give them a try.

They feel stiffer than the RE71RS, especially on initial turn in.

Shorter 3/4/5 gears, but stock otherwise. A great engine!

They are fine in the wet, no worse than any of the other performance tyres. I do a bit of road driving to and from the track, or through the hills and have no issues going out in the rain.

Stock B16A2 with an exhaust (stock headers still in this video) Shorter 3/4/5 and 4.4 FD in gearbox.

Nah, had a garage broken into many years ago!

We had an EXTREMELY wet hillclimb late last year and they pretty good. Quite predictable. I can't compare them to A052, but I've heard the same comments about them.

Jesse Street made a comment on his last Insta post about how bad they were in the wet, but he is comparing them to a wet compound tyre, so his view might be skewed.

I'm now on A052s and the A052 is much faster and grippier in the wet than the CRS. Very impressed with the A052 wet and cold performance after a wet hillclimb on the weekend.

いいえ、ここはオーストラリアです

@@rhysrhysrhys 凄いコースですね。 走りたいです。
