I've used the TOyo's from the Proxes to my 2nd round of T1R's .all are great but.......If I had a lil more dosh to burn..RE001's would be shizz Some of the skid pan Motokhana boys swear by them..They might chew up pretty quickly on the extreme but on a daily drive with spurts of spirited driving they handle pretty well i'm currently running RE001's now, for day to day/sprited street driving they are a really good tyre, how ever these tyres will preform alot better with some heat in them. while cold and trying for a quick launch i seem to get afair bit of wheel spin (launching from about 3,500rpm), and this proved to be the same at winton raceway, 1st lap is abit slippery, but when the tyres wormed up i could go faster and carry more speed around corners. all in all, the grip level and feel when warm is outstanding wet or dry.. a very good tyre if you can get them for under $200, bang for buck ;) or theres michelin Pilot Preceda 2, not an agressive tread patten but from what i'v heard are a very good tyre also, i think CAP's running them now... i might be wrong but :P I found the T1R's a well rounded tyre for under $200.00 as they pick up heat pretty easily ,Hell sticky in normal conditions,grippy in the wet but the Proxes are a lil more harder in compound & slips n slides a lil but still controllable in wet conditions. On the track I used the Toyo 888's a semi slicked tyre & had fun on these but costing 400 plus each this would strain the budget.
