Which 15 '' Road Tyres
Leyther - 13/4/15 at 05:01 PM

I am looking for some tyres for the rebuild on my Westfield, seems that Toyo R1R's are un obtainable ( unless you can advise where I can get 4 195/5/15 from ).
What else do people recommend for road driving that give good all round grip and have the flexibility to suit a 7 type car ?
Thanks
Dave

Very subjective - but recent posts on WSCC point to Nankang NS-2R (note the "R" on the end - NS-2 is different) and Federal 595RSR as being a couple of reasonably priced R1R alternatives.

I have just fitted nankang ns 2 r soft compound on my striker and so far they feel really good doing a trackday on 24 th so will find out more then ,had yoko 032r before so we will see .

None IMO, 13" wheels with 888's are the best...

eBay has them available,

Or get the new R888R's

T1R's are not the same.

R1R's can be had from ebay. Last set i bought last month was £250

I think AD08R are approximately the Yokohama equivalent of R1Rs. I had AD08s briefly, they were great on track but were never particularly good after the first track outing due to (I think) overheating. Probably ideal for road / light track use though.

Thanks for all the replies

Ben No R1R's on Ebay !
Plenty of t1r's , would be interested to know the supplier.

Indy 205's are too big , in fact I have a set of 4 205 ( not R1R'S )that I will be getting shut of shortly !

If you can re calibrate your speedo then 195/55/15 should be ok

Ns2r or 595rsr all cheap as chips on tyre leader.
take a few days as they come fron the fatherland, but used them a few times now.
