I ended up with re040 in the fron and re050 rears. So far it seems OK, a bit funny at the back but it will be with new tires. Seems fine all the way up to V-TEC in 5th. Running 40 psi rear and 33 psi front. I might lower the back end to 38 and see what happens.

Next time around I will look for OEM, if I can find them.

I paid £ 411.25 including VAT, not bad IMHO.

Cheers

I am still running RE010's, about £400 a set from eventmobile.

VTEC in 5th in the R, is 5th lower gear than a non R ??

That's probably only about 120 isn't it ??

Unfortunately I am out of their service area. Minimun they wanted for tyres around here is £ 465.00 and since the wheels were freshly refinished I was worried about them hurting. The company that the refinisher recommended assured me that they will be OK and if worse came to worse they will be refinished FOC.

V-tec in 5th oh sorry, I meant second ;).
