2 or 3 years out of r888s?

go for the r1rs...cheap and good grip and have lasted me 4000 miles of hooning last year. good value in my mind.

What are R1R's like in the wet / damp conditions?

See my PM Colin. I’ve replied to your message to me

After a pm discussion with Neil and seeing that Lee's answer on these tyres i think ill go for something like the Toyo R1R .
Had to pop over to Snodhurst this evening so while i was there I got my tyre sizes, so at the front i'm running 195 x 45 x 15 on the rear 205 x 50 x 15 so the surch begins.

I new this wasn't going to be easy ? I can't see on the websites i have been on doing my size of tyre in a R1R ?
Ok i didn't have my glasses on when i looked at the sizes but i am sure they are right, so any ideas please ?

Here’s a link to some R1R’s Colin

These are 195/50/15’s but you can play with sizes.

One question, why are you running different profiles front to back?

Good point, The profile is a percentage of the tyre's width. e.g. a 215/60R15 tyre has a profile or sidewall that is 60% of the 215mm (width), so the wider the tyre the lower the profile to get the same overall diameter? That said I have 185/60 R13 on the front and 205/60 R13 on the rear of the Fury so mine are a different diameter too.......

I don’t know why to honest. The tyres are what came with the car when I got it. If I go 50’s on the front I am not sure if they will for due to the wing.
I was used g the tyre selector on Openeo that’s when I found I can’t get a 195x45x50 in r1r.
I will have to have a good look when I get the car home next week and have a play.
Is it that simple that a 45 profile a to 50 profile is 5mm. I know it is but would it make a difference if I could get them which I think I can.
