Steve-O Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi All Its time to lose the gash yoko's and give her some new boots..(once the snow goes) I was looking at either HANKOOK RS2's, or Toyo t1rs... will be doing a couple of track days this year. I tried what i believe to be the Hancook's on the WIM/Gaz demo car and thought they were pretty good as a compromise. Stood up to a fair few hard laps of combe, progressive break away and a bit of tyre squeal so you know you are pushing on Any feedback on the above? Also - Tony : I noted you can provide some WIM springs for the Mk1. How would these compare in terms of ride quality, ride height and guarantee to the eibach pro's that have a 30mm or so drop? (Thinking of doing the lot in one go). Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hms Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 RS2's are a good compromise. Stiffer sidewalls than T1R's and seem to wear better. h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here mate - the mx5 is parked up since its useless in these conditions and i have lost the 306 to the snow on a hill near the old town. Working from home today - carnage !! Look forward to getting some prices on the rubber. I gather the hancooks are the ones to go for then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn thats a shame i'd quite like to have tried the RS2's! £50 a corner for the toyo's is a nice price though so i will give them a punt on the car for the year. Can i just turn up and get these done ? Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybarber Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Yeah thats a tyre we always keep in stock so you can just turn up I'll keep hassleing and hunting for some RS2's in the mean time though. As for Gold member we'll see what we can do on the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
