Never tried R1Rs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car is a weekend car for cruises ect.R1R'sInvo & KU31 are not even in the same league. They're both decent, but more of a 'poor man's alternative' to the Toyo's imo.

T1R's were the not as good ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And wouldn't you know it, the boost gauge is faulty. It reads 8 psi higher than it should.... Getting bored of sh*t not going to plan that's for sure!/end of sooking.

masda74 To Loud Gold Donating Members 4,112 Member For: 12y 11m 10d Gender: Male Location: WA, Perth Posted 18/02/12 11:41 AM Share Posted 18/02/12 11:41 AM I think I spotted the kron on Tonkin at 5pm today. Ciaran would have to confirm it. I only saw the car in the rear view mirrors. couldn't exactly read the number plate.I am always concerned about how long these dunlops are gonna last especially when, I want to give the car a good flogging, but then I think about how much it is gonna cost to get some new tires on and I just have to hold back.What are you guys using and how much die they cost?

Just got 2 more on the fronts for 168ea fitted and balanced. I have Invos on the back which cost me about 180ea to have delivered, then pay to have them fitted. So far the invos don't seem to grip a great deal more. A little more, but I was expecting big things from the way they were talked up. KU31 treadwear rating 320, Invo = 260.edit- 235/45/17 sizes.
