[R1 JIM]

Toyo proxy TR1 .....any one got experience of these ???

Seem to cheap to be good but who knows ??

 

[R1 JIM]

General concencous is crap. Much better tyres out there

 

[R1 JIM]

Ah ok , any suggestions, on a tight budget so need to be cheap !!

 

[imprezaworks]

Without being an ass try not skrimp. I have hankook v12's which are great

 

[charltjr]

Nankang NS-2R in the track compound are good for the money

 

[imprezaworks]

I'm assuming road use?

 

[R1 JIM]

No road use , track only

 

[Knuckles]

Federal rsr
Toyo r1r
Nangkang ns2-r
Toyo r888

T1r is the budget/daily tyre

 

[imprezaworks]

Buy some parada spec 2's and prey it doesn't rain.

I would be going for the rsr's

 

[R1 JIM]

Just found ns2-r at £210 for 4

Careful, they come in street and track compounds, the street ones are fine but the track ones will be better for the track, they're softer and grippier.

After going out in @Pacman. s r27 at CSS last year, I really want a set of RSRs next.

Hilarious grip and skid angles.

Enter corner sideways. Hook up tyres. Carry on as you were.

Lol was not just the tyres tho. Had strut braces and KW v3s helped too

I've found rsr's to be the best for my driving style. May not be ultimate grip but last for a good while on Thrace stints.

Seconded. They really have given my RST a new level of grip I never thought an old Ford could have.

No road use , track only

In that case I'd discount the T1-Rs...

Federal rsr
Toyo r1r
Nangkang ns2-r
Toyo r888

Any on those will be fine.

True but the Street compounds will be tricker to go off colour on track, and can take more heat.

 

[McGherkin]

RSRs for me.

I really rate NS-2R's, they just seem to keep on gripping, and a fair bit cheaper than R888's. More than plenty for road rallies XD

Fair comment. I found them lacking in outright grip but they were very, very consistent. I'm used to 888's by comparison.
