I've always been happy with T1-S and then T1-R, but perhaps because a) I can't remember anything different now! and b) I don't do a lot of track driving.

I run the Toyos at the same pressures recommended for the original Pirellis on the S1, 23.5 front and 27.5 rear. Occasionally fiddle about with this for track / dry road balance but for a road car doing the occasional track day it should be fine.

Only thing is - Toyos are relatively soft - hence good in wet - and thus warm trackdays will shred 'em. Just watch that....but otherwise, brilliant VFM.

I will be going for the AD08's soon for my car but it won't be from Rarerims, £440 from them versus £340 for Ears Motorsport in 195/55/15 :shock: :wink:
Hi Mike, what was the problem with the RS2's?

Cheers

Mark :?
TBH, i think it was the car, AP1 S2000 so pretty tail happy. I have since run them on the DC2 and all seem good as said mate :thumbsup

(that's why I think Mike will do fine, that and his lack of imagination). :roll: :lol:
