ive always used toyo t1r's

195-50-15 i can get for £22 each :thumb: (whats that, about... 45$ ?)

i used to use eagle f1's, they are great in the wet but they are quite a hard compound so not the best in the dry (still good though)

the toyo's on the other hand are quite a soft compund so they are great in the dry and just as good in the wet.

damn 45 buck is cheap. i might have to call you on my next pair. but very true they are softer tires and work great in the dry. haven tryied in the wet. waiting on a rainey day.

Wasn't that thrilled with T1Rs in the wet, very predictable in the dry though.
