My experience with T1r's

Pretty decent in the dry, however in the wet they don't seem to grip very well. :thumleft:

Sorry to go off topic here but would running a 45 profile on standard rev 3 wheels ruin the balance. Bearing in mind have 195 50 15 parada spec 2 up front. Reason i ask is its time for new rear tyres as my 225 50 15 proxes t1r's are getting to the legal limit and i have spotted these as a possible replacment...

They are a bit more expensive than t1r's and a lot less than 888's. Ill only be driving the car a max of 2k miles on nice sunny days this year and would like a bit extra grip.

Any reason this is a bad idea? Im unsure if im getting carried away since iv seen em.

Thanks.
