or a 195&215/45 tyre combination, the 50 profile are the closest Match to the originals with a rolling radius within 0.5% and are £230 the 45 profiles are 5% smaller so i'll lose a bit of top end but will gain acceleration and not get as much tramlining from the tyres, and they're only £180, does anyone have any ideas which i should go for?& 225/50/15- this is mine. FTLOG don't buy T1R's in standard size. I strongly dislike the feel, feedback and tyre-roll they give. In the series they are being slammed as they seem to overheat and have lot's of issues, however when you drop them down to road use, they are actually pretty good. 
Yes there is a slight flex in the sidewalls when pushing it hard round corners but it's mainly because they're a soft tyre and they grip well in dry and wet conditions which is the most important thing. They also give a nice quiet ride. I'm glad I bought them. I've had Falken 512's and 451's in the past and they're good tyres for the money but I do prefer Toyo's for their wet grip. 195/55/15 and 225/50/15. I honestly cant fault them.

"Caution: Careful attention is required in wet conditions due to limited aquaplaning abilities. As this tyre is designed and produced with special designs and compounds for competition, no warranty is applied"& 205 / 60 / 14 so the standard tyres for the rev3 alloys have a bigger rolling radius, which will mean slower car and more strain on the drive train, i've finally found a decent set up and will be ordering them shortly, going for T1R 195 & 205 / 50 / 15 should be perfectPFrazier wrote:Tomiam wrote:Just bought a set of Toyo R888's in the stock sizes.
Are you using these on a daily driver? I took a look at the Toyo site and saw the info below concerning R888 tires
Took them out yesterday in the wet, and found a nice open road. Drove at 40mph, slammed on the brakes (EBC green pads with grooved / vented discs) didnt slide. Took it around a few corners and gave it the beans, nothing majorly wrong there either. Yes, I could have stepped the back out in the wet, but they still provided lots of grip. ie: If there is a puddle on the road. Having not experienced anything like this yet I cant comment. Please note my feedback is based on only using them for a short while.
