I used them on the roads over last summer due to them being a road legal tyre but by all accounts they are now (on black circles anyway) track only.

:eek: R888's would last you the length of a drive thru lol

[nova josh]

would they be any good on a 1.3 sr on cav expression alloys?

[Stuart]

why do you feel that you need road legal slicks?

What else has been done to the handling of the car to justify them?
They wear fast as they are mega soft, will be crap from now till april, cost a lot for what you are doing with them etc etc

T1R's are crap tyres imho, unless you get below a 35 profile as the walls are made from cheese.

[MattBrown]

is the limit for an exhaust a quiet 1??


"Do not shoot me down"


I have always been told, the limit is at the discression of the mot tester, I got done on my moped, and they had no meter or anything!

Just said "We deem it (Crazyly) Loud!

As looking on the net, there is no decible limitlol
