GordR Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Just tried a set of 195 50 15 federal Rsr's. Once they have heat into them they were pretty impressive. And at 52 quid a corner from camskill pretty good value Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 May sound a silly question to some... Does anyone have experience with these tyres and finding one slightly skinnier. I believe 595s sidewalls actually measureMore like a 205 tyre. Im struggling to get a 195 on the rear of my car and every mm counts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 195 NS2R and AD08R also measure as 205 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 AD08R also come in 185/55/15 so that might help Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Track tyres for the trackRoad tyres for the road Simple. Fact is road tyres handle better on the road than track tyres because you can't get the heat into them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You cannot drive a car in wet conditions with these tyres also be prepared to have some crazy road noise from them, soo loud it gets you thinking something wrong with the car. Personally semi slick tyre i'm a Yoko AO48 medium compound guy, they jus' work so well on my setup. If you wanna get more mileage outta them you go hard compound at the compromise of little less grip until you get heat in them. The medium compound are reccommended for use upto 6k miles. I always manage to get between 8 and 9k miles. I think this is because the EP is a very light car and also makes them worth buying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And at 52 quid a corner from camskill pretty good valueWhat he said I won't run anything else they're cheap and they're seriously sticky your not bothered about wear and price which if you are then I recommend a nice set of ling longs and not bothered about the wet because let's face it your not going to start beasting your car when it's pissing down then go for it you won't look back Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RM15_Glanza Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I used 888 GG for all rounders and tbh best I've used yet, even in the wet, had to put the car through its paces to get the heat in them but once they were hot I liked em, dry grip was unreal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Funny seeing his thread again My opinion has changed quite abit.I'm stil with R1r for the road and 888 if your looking to push on.For the track I'd say the nankang ar1 must be interesting but from the standard list 1b fast road tyres I'd say you would struggle to beat a maxsports rb5 f3 in soft in a short time attack/Hillclimb/sprint style event. Not as hard to balance as I'd been warned and great in the damp/wet so long as not through standing waterPhil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) I'd like to try Dunlop DZ03G if I ever get round to owning a set of track only wheels, heard they last ages and are the best in the dry for track days AD08R's have been great on the street, comparable levels of grip to NS2R but quicker to heat up and more comfortable to live with (the downside being less feedback & faster wear which I think is the case so far) Edited October 25, 2016 by Amjad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I have dunlops on my charade, havent properly tried them yet but they are bloody noisy on the road! Worth noting if that woukd bother you on a daily Quote Link to post Share on other sites
