Benefits and advantages that drivers need
■Driver: Tsuyaya Tamagawa ■Participating category: Formula Drift Japan 2024
■Tires used: Gerun 055D
Starting this year, he has chosen the FIVEX brand and will be competing in Formula Drift Japan 2024.
My honest impression of the Gerun 055D was that it had a good balance of grip in both the vertical and horizontal directions. In drifting, where traction instantly switches between directions, this good balance is beneficial for the driver. The rare size setting of 285/40R19 was attractive for the 80 Supra, which was participating in the race, and gave me a sense of the grip advantage.
An important point for drivers is how the tire contacts the ground. Gerun 055D makes it easy to understand how it communicates. What's more, there is little heat sagging and no tread separation, so it maintains that contact until the end of wear, which is reassuring.
Another thing that should not be overlooked is that the wear resistance is good despite the high grip performance. In chase races, you can accelerate without controlling the wear, so you can use this to your advantage when planning your strategy.
Control performance that leads to high performance
■Driver: Ikuo Saito ■Participating category: Formula Drift Japan 2024
■Tires used: Gerun 055D
He is competing in Formula Drift Japan with an R35, which is rare in drift competitions. Before the season began, he tested a variety of tires and chose FIVEX's Gerun 055D.
This tire has an overwhelmingly good balance of vertical and horizontal grip. It's easy to control the vehicle's position on the straights, when entering a drift, and when cornering. I think this excellent control performance will be useful in a variety of situations throughout the series . In fact, even though the series is still in progress, it has maintained its highest ranking to date.
Regarding grip, there was no need to unnecessarily lower the air pressure, so I was able to smoothly reach the starting line from practice to qualifying. I also did a 1.5km test run with the tires cold, but I felt that the grip was too strong.
I run my own shop, so I would like to introduce FIVEX, which has good wear resistance, to my shop's users.
High grip performance is the biggest attraction

■Tires used: Gerun 055D
I love motorsports and I not only participate in drifting but also in attack races such as Super Taikyu. This year, I decided to participate in Formula Drift Japan with the FIVEX brand.
The reason I rate this tire highly is its high grip. While regulations place various restrictions on tire manufacturers, the potential of the specially developed Gerun 055D will be an advantage for drivers.
During competitions, I set the tire pressure to 2.0 kg or more when cold. When I set the tire pressure lower than that, I felt that the grip was too strong.
Another reliable point is that there is little heat sagging and no tread separation, which is often seen in drifting. I would like to take on challenges this season with tires that I can rely on with peace of mind.
