T1-R's have the repuation of a slippery turd

Ask in main room about them, FAO Stu and Dingy should do it

I run some very hard wearing, GT Champiro 205 / 40's on my 7.5" RS 7's.

But I'd agree with what Tony said from past experience

So, you've got T1-S and recommend T1-R

Sorry, but how the hell does that one work then
