Toyo R888's thin on the ground - and pricey too
Camskill are out of 'em (17")
Was hoping for 215/40's but Toyo don't make that size, so there's the 45's but no stock 'till September I've heard.
Anyone know where there's a set?
Thanks

I'm with Jura on this, not personally tested them but read great reviews on the RS-Rs, enough for me to consider them as my next set of tyres when I get a set of summer/track wheels

^ But, the T1R has 'great reviews' and even a poll on here saw them getting higher votes than all the other usual suspects... but that is what I j=have on now and I'm not a fan - sidewalls too soft being the biggest issue, with squirmy tread blocks next

Doesn't mention the sidewall stiffness, but it does talk about the block stiffness - lifted from mytyres.co.uk...
Semi-slick, sport competition 595 RS - designed for exceptional traction and grip. Cutting-edge technological advances in design, construction, pattern and compounds. Best performance in its class - a street legal competition tyre with the characteristics of a slick. * Evenly dispersed block stiffness, same level of stiffness in the center and the shoulder for stronger grip and traction, prevents irregular wear * Uni-directional V-shaped main groove enhances streamline form and also improves aquaplaning ability at high speeds. Wide-angled grooves increase block stiffness, further enhancing tyre's grip and traction * Engraved pattern name along the groove creates an exquisite product image * Sub-grooves on the shoulder disperse block stiffness, improving ride comfort, grip and traction * Complete block stiffness provides excellent lateral stability in cornering.

How to say.i've run T1R on my wagon,i was not impressed at all,i have now Kumho Ecsta which are much better than T1R...All is subjective(i mean polls)
RS-R and T1R are two different tyres..
About the Yokohama,price is killer for these tyres,i would go rather with Hankook Ventus R-S3

Review above. Having never had trackday type tyres, is wet performance a problem usually, or just with these?
