I had hankooks initially, they pretty much held down the power, just an odd slip in 3rd but after 2k miles they were below 1.6mm from brand new.
After asking the very same question everybody recommended the ps4s, not just for mr2s but for anything with peformance requirements. The ps4s will also last a lot longer.... :thumleft:

Just seen this - its a rev 2 with pretty much all the bolt on upgrades you can get so think im limited to about 280bhp?

Engine is back and looks like Simons done a great job. Just got to get a clutch and put it all back together again.
