why don't you try Federal 595 RS-R.... I have on my glanza i run 1.6 bar on VF24 setup i launch about 5100 rpms to go off the line and think that i dont have a LSD gearbox...with a good launch you get a lot of traction to smoke a lot of Hondas at the track... In the past I have tried Toyo's R888 at 1 bar of boost and have the same traction with the Federals at 1.6 bar...

I have heard them federals are good a few times. I have tried T1R's and also Nankang NS2 and tbh there is surprisingly very little difference in performance but the nankangs last about 4x longer.

yokohama, advan neova ad08, these were good for low 12s at crail, considering crail surface is shite and rips ur tires to bits, but i would reccomend

On what car?To run low 12s at crail you either need Mickey Ts or some amount of power (500+) Preferably both.....
Me personally i run toyo 888 on the Honda, and with no diff managed to run a 2.2 60ft
Also crail doesnt rip the sh*t out of your tyres, you need grip for that:haha:
Pretty sure Rore run rainsports when he done his 13.3 years back

I don't think the Uniroyals are very good at 30psi +, I found them too sloppy at the rear. What have you run them at Rory?

Never run any tyre over 30 on my GT. I found them pretty damn good tyres better than the T1R.
Ive always played with pressures to suit what ever ive run, no 2 tyres have been the same :haha:

Could you guys see any problems with me running r888 on the front and t1r's on the rear at donington in a few weeks except it raining lol
I ran mine at 30psi rear and 32psi front. Will lower the rear to 27 and see how it goes from there
