The Cost Of Type R Ownership

[Piemonte]

Cheers stfcfan. I've had some tyres from there before and they had em done in less than 1/2 hour.

what are the Yokohamas like Ralphy - I was going to get RE050s for me Mazda but they are a bit spintastic with the rear wheel drive!

I have Bridgestone RE040's on my Type R currently, good tyres in the dry but not for winter.

Yokahama's are superb, i haven't heard a bad word spoke about them.

They offer massive grip in the dry and good wet grip.

Parada Spec 2 is the best.

got yokos on the front of my lil beast, A4358s or summat like that, grippy as fuck, understeered once since i've been driving it, and driving it hard! all the other times its the backend that steps outta line

[Ralphy]

Yoko A539's are good as well as Parada Spec 2.

[Leggett]

bloody lovely, and on my tiny 14" wheels they're cheap as you like. BARGAIN

[Compo]

Ralphy i could tell they wer'nt your tyres, maybe the big red H in the middle means they came from an 'R Type' Hyundai..............


Jokin aside have u tried Toyo Proxes T1-S's

 

[Ralphy]

Yes on my old Saxo VTS. Good Grip but wear VERY quickly.

The Toyo T1-R is out now and a much better tyre.

Has a stiffer sidewall than the T1-S and wears less.
