I also have a mate who can get them at cost.

Don't know why the 265 is that cheap but a 235 is $190ea

[No Crust Racing]

What about 255?

 

I can get locally got $225 fitted

 

 

[Hadouken]

That's cheap. Go with it

[No Crust Racing]

Yes and no.

I can get 255 rs-rr for 600 and you know I'm all about dem budget buys for the Silvia.

[admS15]

Different class of tyre. Dual purpose tyre vs r spec Motorsport tyre. Got to compare apples with apples. Theoretically the AR1 should be much quicker but there hasn't been many reviews where people can actually compare them to a decent r spec and say I went this much quicker or slower with everything else being equal. I am going to get a set when my current a050 are finished and compare times. Got an event or 2 left in them so still a while away. I can get 265 18's for 205 fitted here. Why don't you get a set Dan and tell us how they stack up against your shagged rsr[emoji6]

[Hadouken]

In a month or two I will be getting a set.

Then should at least give it some comparison to entry level r comps.

Nothing will ever compare to a050s lol. They were amazing.

[No Crust Racing]

I'm fully aware they are different class rubber.

My point being that if I go 1sec faster on 255 rs-rr and say 2sec faster on AR1, the AR1 are better value dollar for speed.

All that said, this is still budget racing so I want them to last while giving me some thrills.l and not breaking the bank.

Oh and going AR1 will likely bump me out of the class I'm most competitive in, I'll be in with the big hp, full slick, serious cars, so no chance of finishing near the top.

That's not that important in the end, but winning is always nice too.

I'll leaning that way, but in the middle of sussing out a new helmet and Hans also.

[admS15]

In that case go the rsr-r and wait for hadouken and my future reviews. Or just take the plunge yourself.

[No Crust Racing]

If you guys are already committed and only a month or two away, I can wait.

It's gonna be wet here for at least another month and I have some projects I want to finish on the car before I take it out again anyway.

Hadouken comparing to RS3 I think so both reviews will be good.

[admS15]

In a month or two I will be getting a set.

 

Then should at least give it some comparison to entry level r comps.

 

Nothing will ever compare to a050s lol. They were amazing.

If I can get within a second of them I'll be happy. Thing was with the a050 I didn't have my car set up right the first couple of track days, so I didn't get the most out of them. Also as my driving gets better with seat time, I'm hoping to possibly even match the times. I guess what I'm saying is, I didn't get the full potential out of the a050 so the AR1 should have a chance of getting close.

 

Edit. Full slicks > a050

 

[admS15]

May be a few months for me, depending if I can get 1 or 2 more days out of these. 1 of them is looking a little sad. I'll see what that looks like after the next outing. I'm committed unless I find a050 for 200 a piece again. Very very unlikely, lol.

[No Crust Racing]

How so cheap?

 

The club boys all run slicks from the v8 Ute's, $50 each, but you need an 18x10 to run them which is a shed load of work for a 4 stud Silvia lol

 

 

[Hadouken]

And no. I won't be comparing them to rs3. I do not consider any of those as a r comp tyre.

It will be compared to r888/nt01 and a050.

[No Crust Racing]

Coming of the back of RS3 then, but fair enough.

[admS15]

They where cheap when taleb got a container of mid-late 2014 production tyres. I think it was towards the end of last year or start of this year. I'm pretty sure you looked at them too.

[No Crust Racing]

I was building GTR then, no Silvia spending.

[admS15]

GTR is done, money can now be directed to s13. Btw it needs a gtx2863, e85 and then it will decimate all.

[No Crust Racing]

Lol no e85, annoying to get here. GTR is on it and painful enough for that.

Wouldn't mind 2863 though, should go harder than this $100 T28
