Tyres make or break the look of your wheels and car though Gus, just a thought.

Prada's are far better in the dry, and in terms of abusing the car the T1R's just end up on tip-toes on the tread if you start swinging the back around at all.
T1R's are better in the wet though.
Personally as a "general use" tyre I think the prada's are great value and work fairly well, ive even used them on a dry track session and they werent too terrible, although obivously they arent 888s!

my saff used to eat the edges of the T1R and T1S when pushing it, paradas seemed more up to the job imo

T1R no T1S yes, but I would have Uniroyals before either toyo or yoki.

Which model uniroyal?
The RS2 are great in the wet, but I totally destroyed a set in half a day on track in the dry.

Prada, very good grip in the dry.
Toyo, do not last.
