Default Can't decide on rear tyres...
I am about replace the rear tyres, but dunno which tyres to go for.

I currently have S02s still at the front, i'm looking at either Toyos T1R, or RE050A.

Which one would be better to go for?

Had a full set of T1R's fitted yesterday, the car is nailed onto the road now. Been scaring myself in a nice way yesterday. So much better than the RE050's that were on there. They heat up nicely and the car now drives as I expect it to.

Another vote here for T1R. give then a little scrub in time though as i found in the wet and <400 miles they were still a bit of a handfull.

Oh and i am assuming your on 16's. Following MB's advice i found they were much improved with 36psi.

i'm ready for a change (so my MOT tells me, i quite enjoy the extra slippyness of low tread SO2s )

RE050s.

Toyos and RE050As will destabilizer the thing and make it feel like a MK4 Cortina.

on 16s. T1R so you can take advantage of the 245 size rear tyre.

My F1s are starting to bed in now and are feeling better but not as stable as a 245
