3rd set of Goodyear GSD3's
for all round performance, v good in the wet without too much of the Toyo squidginess. I've switched back to the Bridgies for better dry performance and feel though.

How many miles do you get from the T1R's
I got about 5k miles out the last set of Toyo's I had if I remember right. But then I also went through a clutch in about the same distance.

They do go soft on the tyre walls when hot though.

RE050A's for me, really stable in all weathers, just make sure you keep the pressures correct!

Eagle F1 Assymetrics XL all round.

Stiff(ish) sidewalls and shit loads of grip in the wet compared to RE050 MZ's, about the same in the dry.

From late march till late september, buy some R888s.

For the winter, get some Falken 452s.

If you have never experienced R888s on your S, you will be blown away

The Falken 452s are a good general tyre but they are mediocre in the dry, great in the wet thanks to a soft compound.

So do you use the R888's as an everyday road tyre? What are they like in the wet?

These new tyres -the R1R - sound interesting http://www.toyo.co.uk/productdetail.php?id...s&product_id=67
