Driven by a little old lady, probably oblivious, bless.
 
was working in Edinburgh all week and came accross an Overfinch Rangerover but was to busy working to get a picture. also saw a Yellow Ferrari in Grangemouth but was driving at the time. Epic fail by me.

Ferrari must have been a drug dealer with it being in grangemouth!!

Was it you who bought a set of R1R's? What did you think of them?

If your annual mileage isn't too high then I'd recommend them as they only last a little bit longer than 888/48's on the rear.
They are a nice compromise between 888/48 and a summer tyre such as Eagle F1 in terms of outright grip and ability to deal with standing water, though not very effective when the temps are <10 degrees.

On a hot sticky track they worked pretty well, not quite the same amount of grip as 888/48 due to larger tread blocks overheating/falling off slightly but for a casual track day driver good enough.

I run them with a set of Pirelli Snowsport/Sottozero on another set of wheels for Dec>March.

Annual mileage is just shy of 6000 this year including a trip through Europe, so that isn't a problem. I have the a spare set of alloys (original NA's) but wanted to avoid having to have 2 sets of tyres, but it is looking necessary to get a summer tyre that I'm happy with and something that works in the winter!

Thanks for your reply. :)
