Once you go those you'll never go back.. The ultimate tyre, sidewall that you can barely move. Unfortunately their close to impossible to get now because of our poor economy and rate to Japan.
And worthy mention goes to RE88's. The ultimate fun tyre, stiff as rock, lasts a decade of sliding, and shit compound equals super long happy slides.
GIII's are one of the worst tyres for high speed drifting, sidewall flex is insanely bad, so much that it starts chopping the thread on angles. Thank god their no longer in production.
RE001 are awesome for the price, but performance wise, their nothing special, sidewall was mildly improved from the GIII, (still has the angled thread chop), compound however and grip, was increased quite a bit. Watchout for the Australian made ones, the casing line isn't made as nice as the Japanese made ones, therefore making it prone to early delamination.
Take note however, my opinions of some of these tyres may not ring true as a fully braced AE86 would be putting a lot more force onto the tyres than a less stiff example.

all these tyres sound like use on the rear only.
also
re001 i found have a very stiff sidewall... more than twice as stiff as an R1R.. and mine also wore perfectly flat from new to belts
re88s are what they put on taxis
drift taxi zing
What 13" tyres upfront do you guys recomend ? and i guess 175 as a minunum width ?? there going on x7
I'm chasing some 195 50 15s for my track car as I'm thinking of entering G1 next month and I'm over running second hand shitters and having to adjust my driving to suit each different pair. I'm after something that is not going to delam easily and offer a reasonable amount of grip at a reasonable price. The car is a 200rwkw ke70 and I'm only chasing rears. Any ideas on who i should call in adelaide?
toyo proxes 4.
i have seen alex zaffino go thru more than 20 pairs and i havent seen 1 delam yet. btw his 86 is fitted with 400rwhp sr20, but the majority of the time was running 300rwhp. his tyres are almost always run to the belts
