265/40R18 Zestino Gredge 07RS TW140

The 07RS (140TW) is the softest compound in the Zestino Gredge range, a very predictable, high performance road legal tyre with a bias towards trackdays, time attack, super sprinting, tarmac rally sprints and drifiting for the advanced driver.

Being ADR approved and road legal the 07RS is best suited to lighter cars who enjoy driving to and from the track without changing tyres. The 07RS comes upto operating temperature quickly and inspires great confidence cold making it a great option for hill climbing and supersprinting.

As Alek from Racefix has shown in his independent review the 07RS only gets faster as things get hot netting them a 1:10.1 at Wakefield Park in an NA 86 with coilovers and brakes. Alek has since dipped into the low 1:09’s on the 07RS with more modifications and a 1:51.4 at Sydney Motorsport Park.

Alek averages 7 trackdays to a set of 07RS proving it’s great lifespan whilst still punching great laptimes. The 1200kg Racefix 86 aims for 31psi hot with no more than 3 consecutive hotlaps before introducing cool down laps. Tyre pressures are dependent on vehicle weight, vehicle setup and driving style.

Recently, Trackschools John Boston equipped a brand new Toyota GR Yaris with a set of Zestino 07RS to achieve a 1:09.62, nearly 2 seconds faster than the factory delivered road tyre. Andrew Hawkins of Motive DVD also found the 07RS considerably faster than the OEM Yaris tyre going 4 seconds faster at a Twilight rallysprint.

The 07RS also nets fantastic results in competition drifting. Brad Tuohy recently took out the 2022 WTAC Drift Championship in his twin supercharged V8 Toyota 86.

Note: Vehicle Alignment set up & correct tyre pressure is crucial for even wear and best performance when driving with these tyres - like any high performance tyres!

Centre Straight Groove

Two wide centre grooves ensure efficient channelling of water for improved traction in wet conditions. A rigid centre rib provides a constant contact patch, allowing for improved traction and stability under acceleration

Variable Wing Groove

Two variations of wing grooves are place along the outer tread with different lengths and angle. The longer groove assists in channelling and dispersing water out of the shoulder while allowing for improved cornering performance. The shorter groove provides directional stability.

Lightning Groove

The lighting groove combined with the variable wing grooves allow for improved lateral traction for maximum side bite

Side Dimple

Side dimples allow drivers to check the degree of wear and the effective patch area at a glance
