Do you run R1R rob? If so what kind of mileage do you do?

Yeh ive had the R1Rs on all summer probably done around 5k miles although i dont really keep track. Have 3.5mm tread left on them so will prob lob them on the back come summer for a bit and get some r888s for the front.

Yeah.

So you just have 2??  :happy2:

Yes mate just 2, wanted to see what all the hype was about and thought id sling em on for some 1/4 mile days although never really got the best out of them due to conditions on the days.

On the back had PS2's no issues with esp getting confused etc but the back end does obviously have less grip when your pushing the car so just bare that in mind if your thinking of doing it.

Anyone after winter hoops should take a look at Kwik Fit. They are running a promotion for 25% off tyres including winter ones.

Personally I swear by Vred Wintracs

Er, yes. But the OP didn't mention how many tyres they wanted......

Assuming he is asking about winter tyres because he had not used them before, so would require 4.

Nobody is silly enough to run just a pair of winter tyres ..... are they?

Nokian WR G2's are very good, however you have left it far too late to get them for a decent price.

Just had a set of the replacements for the Nokians fitted - the A3. Seem very good so far well out of their optimum temp range so hoping for good things!
