    RE050A is OEM for BMW 645ci & X6M, Aston Martin V8 vantage & DB9, therefore it must quite good if it is used on those cars.

    Not necessarily - it probably just means they paid more than the other manufacturers to get their product on the car :P

    Seriously though they are both good tyres, but here in NZ we are spoilt for choice when it comes to tyres for such a small country

    Yay, we get to go to a World Cup we have no hope of winning? Sorry, but it all seems pointless to me... when NZ actually has a football team with a hope of winning the Cup then i'll care lol

    Like the All Blacks are actually going to win a World Cup........... yeah right :P The only reason the AB's have qualified for the next one is because we are the hosts!

    Seriously though was a great game to watch on TV and good on the AW's! If anyone saw Sportscenter the next day they were all over it and even had a nice little graphic of the populations of teh teams that had qualified. NZ at 4 million was the smallest by far. USA - 370 million and Nigeria at 170 odd. Makes our achievement in qualifying that much more special.

    Hey Guys,

    I urgently need a pair of 4x100 -> 4x100 20/25mm hub adaptors. Second hand would be great because I dont want to pay very much but Im open to whatever youve got! Let me know ASAP.

    Cheers, Jase

    I have a pair here but they don't have the spigot on them to locate the wheel. Let m eknow if you are still interested.

    This whole thread is starting to fail miserably. I have lost count of how many reposts there have been :rolleyes: . It really is becoming a farce.

    A lot of you guys are very very harsh and while their have been some catastrophic failures some of those cars are not all that bad.

    Not digging at you PJAY but your post is the one that sticks out the most. Saying Pink cars are a fail is like saying all BMW's are a fail.

    Just because someone paints their inetrior for example it doesn't mean it is an automatic fail.

    I know everyone has their own opinions but this forum is really turning into a snobfest. If anything is not remotely factory looking or not genuine you guys are all over it like flies on 3 day old meat!

    The biggest one that sticks out is the poor girl who had the E34 with a pretty extreme bodykit - good on ya all for scaring her off!! Another thing is chrome wheels - sure the consensus is that they are terrible but why jump on new members straight away - let them learn themselves! The whole point of this 'community' is that it is a place where BMW enthusiasts can come and gain some good knowledge and meet like minded people. At the moment I know of at least 3 people who have come on here, had a look and then disappeared, purely because of the content and amount of rubbish that is becoming more prevalent.

    Whatever happened to each to their own? Some of you must spend hours trolling through Trade Me digging up these auctions, there are over 47,000 cars for sale! Instead of wasting time on the internet why don't you do something constructive with your time, maybe like washing your car? Or, actually get outside and enjoy some fresh air? I swear some of you people must literally live on this forum. To me wasting all this time is a FAR BIGGER FAIL than half the cars you list.

    Mods - why don't we just close this thread - it really is pointless and just a way for people to increase their post count.

    End of Rant

    I haven't driven on the RE-001's but they seem to fit the "dress-up" market along with the MY-01.

    That statement is quite inaccurate. The My-01 is a sports touring tyre where as The RE-001 is a replacement for the Grid III. Kind of like comparing a 320 to a 328, the two are completely different. The MY-01 is not a high performance tyre by any means, in fact it is quite horrible to drive on - comparable with the Chinese brands I think. The RE-001 is completely different and a pleasure to drive on.

    Both the RE-001 and 050 are very good tyres, personally I think the RE-001 is better than the 050. This is mainly to the fact that the RE-001 is a newer tyre and tread design. The RE-001 will probably handle a bit of track work as well.

    As mentioned earlier Ron's (3pedals) review is very good although possibly a little biased :P

    I would also take a look at the new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric, Goodyear have just dropped their pricing on 90% of their tyres!
