I would double check if they are rs or rs-r.

[alexk]

I read a few reviews that they are good (not as good as Advans but good).
I was thinking to try them on my Z3 once I finish the R888s and the A048s.
I have a collection you see :banghead:

Edam or Brie :beer:

Shite Tyres, cheap for a reason.

If you report they are good then you are shite too:hahaha:


I thought the a048 were good, but the cups were another step up from them.

Buy cheap buy twice, but I suppose being a few seconds a lap slower is not the end of the world, and it's the fun that counts. But all your fancy engine work and mapping is pointless if you are scrimping on the only thing that has contact with the Tarmac. :whistle:

Edam or Brie :beer:

Assuming Brie is the better option, then I suspect Edam, or maybe even Gruyere.

On the other, being reasonable, hand....

Cups are an expensive tyre to ruin as a beginner, aren't they shim? these would be an ideal tyre for a newcomer to learn his and his cars limits, without hurting his pocket too much.

I agree with you. Not everyone hoons like a lunatic on track.


And not everyone has 1100 to throw at Tyres.

What Tyres you going for on the no L

You'd better buy Cups and do two less trackdays a year tbh, you'll get more out of the days that way

I'll stick to spanner work but you certainly won't be sticking to Tarmac :-D

I have not used RSR but have seen them first hand. On Mx5 mk 3 they were ok but sidewall a little soft.

On an e36 they were (according to the driver) quieter than R888 but went off faster.

Therefore my guess is if you are driving at any real pace they will turn to cheese after 3 Laps especially with your 400bhp :supz:

Almost fell of my chair when i read this :hahaha::hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

Hi,

Colleague ran Fed RSR's on an E36 with
S54 engine at Coombe last year and
said they were useable for the first two sessions,
morning, but by early afternoon they had gone.

When they were inspected there were clear signs
of delamination where the side wall meets the
Tread block, the vulcanisation was breaking
away, it was almost like the softer side wall was
tearing away from the tread belt.

He had used them because he was using the Track day
to dial in some new AST Comp Coilovers and conceeded
that he had made a costly mistake, in that the afternoon
was all but lost, and the tyres did not even last the day.

His car is 1130 Kg's without driver.

Most of the Budget type 'R' Track tyres suffer similar
problems even more so when used on cars weighing
in at over 1100/1200kg's.

That said even the MX5 Crowd have not been overly impressed
with them, saying they are worse than slicks if it rains.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
