Default Toyo RA-1s

The S-02s on the front are down to the markers now, and even though the rears (Michelin) are newish, I've never been happy that their mixed so I'm going to invest in a set of boots for my baby.

I have massive problems getting the right size tyres here, for instance; a new set of S-02s is not possible. Also, because it's a high ambient temperature here most of the time and rarely rains, I thought I'd go for something a bit better than standard tyres.

Anyone have any experience with the Toyos?

The T1-R's are supposed to be quite good. Couldn't find anyone with them on an S when I was asking though.

T1R's wear very quickly - I'd say they were more of a wet tyre than dry

Thanks for the info about the TR-1s.

What about the RA-1s? Anyone tried them? I'm guessing that in the UK, other than motorxing, it's to much of a comp tyre for everyday use.
