Mytyres have got selected sizes at a good price, cheaper than a lot of standard type tyres.

General reviews suggest they're not far of toyo r888 performance (a little less outright grip, but last longer, better in the wet ) for half the price.

But I don't know any actual real people who have tried them

Too many old sheds.

I'd be interested too, I need new fronts on the 964. Only other experience of federals were a cheap set on an A3 and they made more noise than a worn out wheel bearing and had no grip

I researched them as a possible for the TVR as a replacement for the R1Rs. No first hand experience, but I'm told that the hype about them being "neary as good as 888s" is pretty overblown - definitely more track-focused than T1Rs, but not really into the league of Yoko AD08 Advan Neovas or the fancy Toyos.
They're frequently cited in the same breath as Hankook RS3s (i.e simialr wear rate, grip etc) - don't know how pricing on them compares though.

...anything that happens before or after is just waiting...

I have them on the Cossie ( 255/35x18 ), but I've only done a track-day in -5°C with them so far, so difficult to make comparisons at this stage.

However, I can say they are a LOT better than R888s on track, which on my car have a 3-lap working window before they go off (something I never had issue with on the road).

Nordschleife - there's only two barriers to worry about - the ones on the left and the ones on the right!

Cheers mike. Very tempted to give them a go.

Reviews on the net seem pretty mixed, on a Clio forum people were getting a lot of shoulder wear, and almost as if the tread was peeling off. However, a lot of people on various Japanese car forums seemed to really like them.

I expect like similar trackday spec tyres they need a bit more negative camber to work properly which perhaps a lot of people bolting them straight onto an otherwise standard hit hatch wouldn't be doing.

The MX5 forum seem to like them.

Welcome back Mike - where the fvck have you been?

You Sir, are rude, arrogant and selfish. And so is your son.

Spoke to a few Integras owners and they rate the RSR, most said they're good cheap alternatives to AD08.

Also spoke to one Clio 182 owner and he preferred them to the Toyo R1R.

They don't make them in standard Integra size (195/55/15) but I may try them if I can get past my OCD!

Kintegra y0!

As you say, any trackday tyre NEEDS more negative camber, as the grip allows you to push a LOT harder, which causes the outside shoulders to wear on standard camber settings. I run 3° negative on the front and 2° 45' on the rear on the Escort, and the tyres wear evenly.

The best I have properly tested so far are the Kuhmo V70As, they kick the R888s into next week. However, they are terrible in wet weather.... I'm hoping the RSRs will perform near the V70s, if they do, then I'll probably stick with them, as the water dispersal looks from the tread pattern like it should be good in the wet as well.

I usually have several weeks off at Christmas, but I have been around - just not seen much that I have felt the need to comment on .
