The S001 primarily is used as an OE tyre.
The RE001 is not, and despite what a few of you may say , they are pretty rubbish. Hope the RE002 is better!
Funny you should say that, my 2002 Passat has RE001's I think they are RUBBISH, told the tyre guy after I had them on for a few weeks, he reckoned I was the only customer he had that thought they were no good.
Has made the car twitchy in a straight line, does not seem to track and not that good in the wet IMO.
Need to replace rears soon, what do you recomend?
