Which 15 '' Road Tyres
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 used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure

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

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.

R1R'S-Tyres
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
