Tiger R6 / Saxo Vts
Got T1R on the back of my 182 and can't fault them as yet - there are newer Toyo's then the R though I think - T1-S.
I've got budgets on the front of my car (they came on some wheels I bought), in the dry they are fine, but the wet they are alful...understeer city.

The R are newer than the S.
I run them on mine, never been on track but they are great in the dry and I wouldn't say they were poor in the wet! Much better than budgets and Yoko's.
172 Cup
i run prada spec 2's on mine, great in the dry stick like nothing else but can be twitchy in the damp when pushing hard!!
lift number 1 @ btm
i've used toyo's for years and found them to be brilliant considering the cost!
they are also control tyre for a few different race series- including castle coomb saloons.
the only thing i would say is that you should never use a new set of tyres for a track day as they will overheat very quickly! that is why some places offer tyre shaving or buffing.
**oh, and have fun too**

Whilst on the topic of tyres someone recommend me a tyre for road use (a good all round wet and dry tyre) for the 15's, i beleive its continental EcoConti's on it at the moment, seem to fire it into the bends without a "holly f**k moment"
Anyone recommend me a good tyre for cheap monies?

T1-R in the dry on track are shite.
Had them on my saxo (supercharged) for a track day, striahg tline grip was fine but pushing hard into corners i found them folding off the rim s far too easily.
it was that bad that id scrubbed the writing off the tyre walls compeletly.
very poor imo. great for a fast track like bedford autodrome as there are very little slow speed high load corners, but on a smaller track they were crap. found they blistered too quickly also.
Ive recently been out in a car with the michellin exalto's on, dead imprssed. will be gettin them for my next tyre purchase

I'm really impressed with my Federal SS595's. They have a fantastic tread, are very grippy and are very cheap! I ordered them from the place below on a Monday at 1pm and they were delivered to me by 10am on the Tues.

They were incredible for grip at brands yesterday in 'monsoon' conditions! Thats with my Konis at full stiff at he rear and half at the front!..
There was a lot of standing water, and I had full confidence in the car, it was planted considering the weather conditions..

You need to put more air in then fella.
Pump them up, do a couple more laps, keep going until the scrubbing is down to about half of the sidewall.

TBH im not going to get into buying spare set of rims just yet . this is the 1st track day im doing so have no idea if Ill get the bug or not and want to do more...
plus i need new front tyres on the standard rims as they are plain nasty in the wet and im going to end up killing myself, brand new tyres but they are the worst i have ever driven on, worse than Falkens!

Trophy 182
Nope I got a full refund in the end as they said they were on a 3 month back order.
The only to find out that they are re advertising the tyres on their website at £75 a corner. I reckon they had got the price wrong and realised that Id made an order and got me to retract it.
I think im gonna get the Michellin PE's again. I was driving in the rain the other night when it was really heavy and the car did not slide or spin at all and I was pushing the car.
Im just gonna buy 2 at a time and use the current tyres for the track day.
