Imho, & havin only passengered in a car with them on. It makes things too easy in a clio, re: boring.
T1R's became our main track tyre when i was at yozzasport, nowt wrong with them, get the car setup right and the pressures spot on and they're brilliant, see the yoz video of spa for proof
I tend to use 26-28psi rising to 32 when warm, any other pointers?
535d / t5 caravelle
fair doo's, never been in a car with them on..........yet.

Most of the road class in the sprint\hillclimb cars run T1R , I think they are very good both in the wet and dry and my best times have been in the wet so they can't be that bad.
Just make sure you don't run them to low as I used to run them at 28 to get heat in them but found they are better at 33 which stops them rolling on the side wall.
However AD08 have been getting good press but are £100 each vs £35. I may try them but won't be until April when the season starts.
Can't comment on rs2 as they are not allowed in our class.

My 10p worth. (not balancing cost as the main issue as if you buy the wrong tyres in the first place 
)
Anyone who mentions pradas & trackdays needs banning.
PE2's are possibly best all round (road) tyre, fact. Excellent wet trackday tyre.
The RS2's are better on road & track (dry) than PE2, by quiet a margin.
R888's are fantastic in wet & dry on track but also boring, as they flatter an inexperienced driver.
The only skill needed is reaction times when it all goes wrong.
I won't mention here which way i'm going next as I will get slated by the 'sheep' but I have researched & a new brand has arrived.

For T1R's go for 30psi hot
What do you run V12's at?
mine are 32psi all round, I ran more than that in my fronts with the Pilots i had on. There seems to be more sway in the fronts now ive got V12's.
Cool, Thanks, I ran about 34 on the pilots i had, may put more air in these as the fronts even look a little floppy.

Bought some more T1R's today.
The issues with supply & possible launch of the RS2 Z213 with a different tread pattern put me off. I like to have matching tyres all round.
