Was r32 on track or road? ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |

On road after picking it up from getting mapped with new cams, same compound as 888's but with better treads for dispersion of water so I'm told, seem to be a cracking tyre imo________________________________________ 306 1.8 xs moonstone blue-SOLD306 gti6 supercharged china blue-SOLD 406 coupe D9 3.0 V6-SOLD |

With my sceptical hat on - for the same company to supply 2 products at differing prices, there must be a reason why the R888 is more expensive. There must be some differences in compound or the carcass somehow. Do the R1R's have a weaker wall?________________________________________  |

R1R's are more road biased, so the carcass is softer to generate more heat when it's cold, etc.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

but they have more tread blocks, so they heat up more anyway.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

You don't get even temperatures just relying on tread flex though.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

i have used the r1r on my 205 and they are very good. i have gone back to t1r's now and i hate them, so different to the r1r's that i can't push the car hard like i used to. the r1r's are currently £280 for 4 at topgear in bridport and there isn't much that can match them for the money.________________________________________ 205 gti6 white phase 2. |

Yes I fecking detest T1r's with a passion too. I love 888's but can't really afford a full set at the moment. I will be using the tyres i eventually buy purely for the track on c5 wheels. I have cyclones and avon ZV5 for the road. The only reservation I have is will they the will wear quickly and overheat in the dry my thinking is yes. I don't like the sound of them having a softer carcass than 888's either. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |
