Kuhmo's seem very tempting for the price.

Hancook RS2 are only £95 for the rears and £84 for the front in 205/45/16 fitment which are again very tempting for the price at £358 for 4.

Cars going in for service on the 24th Feb so will see how much lotus want for new tyres, think I'd better sit down when they tell me as I'm sure they won't be the cheapest :D

Too many options, which one 2 go 4.

I would also like to hear what people think of the Khumos.

Having Re Furbished my Standard Alloys (Black 8), it was intention to buy a set of 48s. I then looked up the price and having second thoughts.

Starting looking at road tyres again but just know i will rip them to shreds on track

Looking like my choices are now going to be either kuhmo V70 or toyo R888. Kuhmo, will have to go for the 205/45/16 and are cheaper whereas toyo are standard fitment. :?:

Does anyone know if the R1-R is 5mm depth the same as the others, or maybe more?
