Not bad. How much did you pay, how do they wear in comparison and how noisy are they?

I can't get the T1Rs to spin 2nd when warm in my ZF F6 with over 350rwkw, with the stock dunlops on I will fry them in 3rd. I paid $360 a corner from Tyre Power & the stock dunlops were $380. The tread wear rating for the T1Rs are 280 where the stock dunlops are 240 and the higher the rating the better, I havn't noticed any bad road noise since I first got rid of the dunlops.

I paid $320 but they may have gone up a bit now?. I think they will wear a little quicker than the 452's but that's to be expected with the extra grip. Very good in the wet and are VERY quite.

Its all got to do with your tyres. I have run 500+ RWHP for years and tried alot of different types of tyres. I use good wearing on the fronts and a softish compound on the front.

Its also not a matter of how soft the compound is either. Compounds have come along way in the last five years that have improved grip heaps also.

I once put the stocky fronts on the rear and basically couldnt move the car. It would slide everywhere in every gear and not safe.

Grippy rears improve safety heaps also on a powerfull car. Much more predictable and you actually go somewhere when you put your foot down.

The Toyo TR1 is an excellent tyre as mentioned above.

Yeh they have gone up in price, what size tyres did you get though?

I have 275/30/19... Grip really well...

But I won't lie to u all... after I had my baby tuned and took her out, I went through a set quicker than I can say WTF?!

hah but na in all seriousness dropping down to 3rd going 110km then planting the foot to connect revs gets u very sideways! leave me giggling and my mate screaming

but now I control my temptations and keep my foot very much so off the accelerator :D
