guys,
how T1R's are priced comparing to Bridgestone 050's?
here (in Israel) Toyo cost almost half of 050's - so i don't mind them to wear out relatively quick.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics - although I haven't tried the Assymetric 2 which I think has now been released.

I've just ordered a couple of FK452s for the fronts, had these for my previous car and they were spot on. When it comes to replacing the rears I'll replace them with Falkens too.

Really disappointed with the T1-r's. Lots of roll, think it's going to slide then grips then slides.
I've had bridgestones and T1-R's, maybe falkens next?!

RS2s are not semi-slicks.

I know mate now I've done some research, but they are more a halfway house between r888 and t1r , and apparanty don't wear too bad either

Only thing I'm concerned about is I'm going to have to go 225/45/r17 at the front instead of 215/45/r17 , will this be a negative or plus?
