What's people's views on these for the S1? I know Stu rates them on his S160, and I'm looking to take my winter rubber off soon. Also where is cheapest to source them?

Cheers :cheers

Have done 400 miles with them on the rear of mine over the weekend. Quite impressed so far, will fit fronts this weekend. The fronts on it are half with but it turns out years old.

Think i got them from Ears.

I was at Knockhill on Sat, in the 211 with the AD 08 R ,s on, in the dry, and they are very good, very little between them and 048/ ZZR,s if anything at all. In the wet, they are way better.

It's Rs I got, think that's all you can buy now?

£407.32 from Ears for the R's, £403.96 from Camskill. Not much in it, either way that's not too bad :thumbsup

Black Circles is even less!

Btw, is there a specific way I should be storing tyres when not in use?

Just ordered a set of Rs for my S1 from blackcircles for 394ish, plus some tesco clubcard points.

Gotta be a step up from my 5+ year old T1Rs....

Whilst I can't deny that you are right, I also have 2 sets of wheels which both had tyres on and both sets of rears are at or near the wear indicators..

I had a vx220 to look after too...

Ok these excuses are crap,I know..
