T1-R's or T1-S's. The older T1-S was not so good in the wet, the T1R improved the wet weather performance somewhat, although I agree no taking it to Goodyear levels.

Using T-1R's mate. I really have to feather the throttle to get the power down, its like my boost and tracking control are in sych in the wet, when ever the boost kicks in so does the TCS, Even tonight, driving home, it rained an hour previous, went to overtake at 40mph, dropped it down to 3rd and floored it, F'ing TCS light flashing all the way up to 60mph.

Not impressed at all.

Just been looking at mytyres gsd3's are as much as the T1-Rs and the falken 452s are a fair wedge cheaper but has anyone got them fitted and got a comparison from the stock pirellis?

After stock P6000 went, Bridgestone Potenzas put on the front. Excellent wet/dry grip, was the rear that let go (p6000 rear half worn, potenzas on the wear indicator levels up front). After that tried P Zero Rosso. Again good but not quite Potenza level. Now got gsd3 all round (well front due for replacement) good but side walls softer than above so for me not as confident in twisties being a heavy oil burner. gsd3 Look good but think i'll be going back to Pirelli or Bridgestone. Mileage not a big concern (car done 23K) i'd rather have confidence in the tyres.

the new PX4's are much better mate they are going to discontinue the T1r as they did the T1s got plenty of faith in them but as chap said above they are tad soft but hey road noise is greatly reduced
