Or take the hit and buy 4 RSRs, depending what I find out about the wear rate

Thats certainly an option.... However, as you have the luxury of a few sets of wheels, i would buy a good set of track tyres (think 888s or A048) and then a set of road tyres.... that way you wont be wasting track rubber on the road.
Tfsi_Mike:
That's the plan...
Hankooks Ventus V12 are ordered for the Turinis for daily as they're good VFM and grip awesome in Alexs bus.
Then Semis for the TDs. Just trying to keep if affordable so I can get on track sooner rather than later :party: :driver:

Will see if I can get hold of Beddie, cheers.
I have 2 R1R on the back with some tread left. Was going to put them on the front and 2 new R1R on the back to match.
Just thought if the existing 2 aren't going to last long it would be a time to try something new, all beit would have mixed tyres for a trackday, maybe 2.

IMO... i would get 2 R1Rs. I wouldnt run mixed tyres anymore on the road... never mind the track.

Why wouldn't you run mixed tyres on the road?

Because there is no need to :happy2:
Matched tyres will always give the best results in terms grip balance
Tfsi_Mike:
Mixed tyres on the road can manifest some alarming handling :scared:
I had 2x Falkens and 2x F1 Assymetric at one point and it was shocking. Used to squirm alot. All the pressures were even
