    Default Toyo R1-R's-Feedback

    Anyone used the above mentioned as steer tyres?

    I know a couple of the pro lads have been using them

    What are grip levels like in comparrison to other leading competative tyres like Kuhmos V70's, 888's, A048's etc ?

    Who can get these in Ireland??

    Cheers

    Fuck, two years that serious value, what are the A048's like in the wet though?

    Ffrenchie was running the R1-R in mondello the last day i think

    I have the V70 at the minute and they are unbelievable, but im looking at my third set, any hard braking atall up front and it tears strips out of them want to get a happy medium tyre. Whats the price on them kuhmos Chris?

    ya there still loads in them il for sure get till the end of this year out of them...grip in the wet is awesome..i used the r888 in the wet and the a048 is way better..!!the yokohama's are expensive tho think i paid around 420 uk pounds for two at the time...the ad08 is suppose to be a good steering tyre too alot of japanese drivers use them..!!

    The kumho;s i have are brand new would need to get 280 for both

    I've been running them on the front for the past 2 years... Awesome tyre, grip just as good as the 888 but don't take as long to warm up... Also good in the wet!! Best all rounder I've used!!
