Must be a good tyre then.

the R1R has replaced the AD06's mitsi used previously so must be just as good.

Have asked if they do R888 and R1-R's.

I'm not local for wheels around so would need to either meet them at KH or get them posted down so I can get them fitted by my local trusted tyre fitting garage. If can't meet them then will prob order from racetyres as they're slightly cheaper.
