With donnington no fast approaching it looks like I will still have the T1rs on my exige,
having not done a track day on either will the T1rs do the job?
Ps, not a track rookie although never been to donny.

I'd pray for cold weather
The tread on the toyos is pretty deep and as the rubber moves around, it will create a lot of heat pretty quickly.
They'd be fine in the rain though

depending on how hard you are pushing it, if it dry i'd reckon T1r's would go off after a handful of laps.
Fine if its wet.
A048's were going off after 5/6/7 laps fo racing, but it was warm, and we were giving death
I'd get some a048's - McApe might have a slightly used S1 size set

What suspension you running?
48s would be a waste of time on standard Konis and have them on the bump-stops if you used all the grip. the T1rs will be fine unless you do 20 lap runs at a time (not a good idea if it's hot anyway)
When they do overheat, they slide really progressively, so they just deach drifting well

I was running the T1Rs at the amp3 day and thought they were OK and had fun on them, so depends on how serious you take it.

I just read the Exige bit... What have you got an S1 in your avatar for? To confuse me?
Still think the T1Rs will be fine, but Donny is higher speed than KH (just a bit
) I think the craners would be interesting on T1Rs after a few laps proper hooning...

Dont worry about LTS compound in the slightest.
Go for meduim front and medium or MH rears.
