I know what you meant, well finalized on tire. Tirerack had a pretty thorough review of both

You bastards that you have this choices.
They are both not available in Australia

What I have read in Japan's review. Takashi Ohi in RevSpeed rate the Advan AD07 slightly higher than the RE01R simply because it has more control in the limit, meaning in drifts. AutoX around the cones they are both good. However, if you are going on any more than 2nd gear corners, you are probably like the Yokohama more, since it is more progressive on breaks.

I will certainly do not mind either one for sure!

Not really. Hear about the drunk Aussie who sued when he ran his car into a phone pole and had permanent physical damage? Judge agreed there should have been a sign identifying the pole.

Not just America.
