Has anyone had experience with Maxsport RB5s, are they as grippy as A032Rs?

I know quite a few of our rally lads who use the Maxsports. They all have good things to say about them. Maybe not quite the ultimate grip of the Yokos but a fair bit cheaper. Probably hard to tell the difference unless you are up against the stopwatch. Haven't tried any personally as they don't do suitable size for our R1 engined Mini rally car. If it's ultimate grip you're after we use Dunlop CR311 moulded slicks - get them in X19 super soft compound - grip like you wouldn't believe and last better than you would think on a light car. Mini is 590kg.

Richard, I think they are a little more expensive.
