Amjad Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) I remember Mad Mike saying he rated the R1Rs. Has anyone else tried them? Found them for a ridiculously cheap price of £50 each That's enough to make me consider buying another pair of wheels and running these exclusively on track! Also found Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 which have quite a few good reviews online for sub £40 each on Camskill.Has anybody tried these either?

Sheehy StarletGT Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Girlfriend has the hankook v12 Evo on her SiR Civic, been through two sets in four years and we think that their an excellent tire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 My friend used to run r1-r on his mx5. Took it to the nurburgring (excuse the spelling) and said it handled like it was on rails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bussey Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yup I have the hankooks, Awesome tyres for the price, seems to handle 280bhp well enough in the dry and the wet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Mike EP82 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 R1Rs are beast but don't last long Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup I have the hankooks, Awesome tyres for the price, seems to handle 280bhp well enough in the dry and the wet! How many miles you guys reckon I could get out of them? And do they have a soft or stiff sidewall? R1Rs are beast but don't last long How long would you say? Was considering buying a pair for track only Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was considering buying a pair for track onlyTrackdays will smash them lol. I only used them on the road probly got 2000-3000 miles . Only thing I would say is don't run high tyre pressure 20-25 psi front 28-32 psi rear (cold) otherwise they belly and shred the centre tred . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Wow! Yeah I was only planning to run low pressures anyway. Also considering the Nankang NS2R track tyres. Don't suppose anyone has any experience with those? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TimD Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 A Federal 595rsr is a good road/track tyre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 i was tempted by the nankang, but you can get ad08 on demontweeks for the same price Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Might go for the R1R should I buy any semi's. For now just running Uniroyal Rainsport 3s on road, great tyre! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had Bridgestone on the car for 3 months and near wire left to hard off a compound and the toyo my second set in two years as you can see plenty off thread left. Grip very well I have to say and warmed up ie tracked use be very good as I heard but never tracked them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Lol no thanks. I'm not after any wheels. I used T1Rs on track and they sucked Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 T1R are shite the sidewalls are so weak... R1R are supposed to be great road tyres Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tmdep82mos Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I agree I destroyed t1rs at castle combe & donnington in my old Clio 182 ad08s are good tho but think I'll go for federal rsr's this time tho I think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
