* Flamesuit on *

Last set of Toyos when I was done with them (7000ish miles, no burnouts, no donuts)

eaun have tried anything other than the S02 (MY03) and RE050 (MY05)?

just wondering if anyone has tried F1`s or T1Rs on the MY05 and their views on them compared to the RE050`s which imo seem to be just as shite in the wet as SO2`s from what people say here.

S-02s are fine in the wet, it just takes an age to get them hot enough.

This is probably why I have one set per year, at 32,000!

I normally do mine in about 5000miles including a trackday. But i change mine on the wearbands. The last few mm is FUN Bit bumpy tho. They are pretty much on them at the mo - whilst its a good laugh the ride is terrible.

i take em right down to the wire... not quite literally. at my service in sept they said i needed new ones, finally got round to it this week.. they were illegal apparently.. oops.
