That will do for me then...
If it was the Evo I wouldn't hestitate in going for Yoko's or R888's but I think I will just go with the Bridgestones. 95% of my driving will be on roads anyway, albeit fast ones.

Do you all get the RE01r's in the UK? I can vouch for the RE050s for road and track. Mine were great right down to 2mm, and yes, we do get rain!
The 01R's seem to get an excellent rating on tirerack.com, better than the R050s. I saw them on a well prepped (trailered in) Evo VII this weekend at a meet. They look really mean - very big outside blocks. Those are definitely my next set.

No, and they're not road legal if you were to import some. I thought about getting some for track use only, honest, but for the price you may as well have A048s.

Or how about RE070s?
Event do them & the CR uses them.
