I've got Hankook RS-2 tyres in 16" (245 on the rear). It's a bit of a mixed bag to be honest. The best thing I can say about them is that they take the heat a lot better than the S02s, so on track with these it feels like I could run all day, unlike the S02s which wouldn't take long to overheat the rears. They're a lot more progressive; it feels like you're sliding all the time, which is not to say they don't grip, but it's a different kind of grip. Kind of fun on the road, maybe not so great on track, and probably not on a sprint.

I went for a 70 odd mile trip last night and have nothing bad to say about the T1-R's.
Normal speed limit driving was nice on A roads, ride is a little softer and cats eyes on bends don't make the back jump out a bit.
I had no tramlining on the 20 miles of duel I done, cruising at 80 was nice. Dunno what it will be like with another 80 on the speed.

I'm no track day racing driver so alls good so far.

I had 245/45/16 fitted about 2-3 months ago. Only on the back at the moment tho.

Pretty pleased with them, definitetly more progressive on the breakaway. A lot more grip in the wet too.

I did find them a little soft.

Put the presures upto 36psi after reading on the forums. Did try 34psi too but dont think it was enough.

Appreciate the input and advice; for sprints it has to be list 1b - so no out and out track tyres. Looks like the proxes will be ok - by running higher pressure for the track - and better as road tyre in gerneral driving. Thanks
