Had some T1-S 195 55/R14 Tyres fitted to the 14 x 6 7 Spoke, Hollowish wheels yesterday, ?290 the set.
My previous tyres were 185/60 R14 Dunlop LM701 Le Mans tyres, although there was nothing Le Mans about them except that maybe you could get there and back without causing any wear.
Impressions: As the tyres were only fitted yesterday I have not had any chance to scrub em in yet, so to early to come to any performance impressions. The sidewall has more distinct bulge than the previous tyres due to the wider profile, I also carried out the sidewall strength test with my foot gauge (I kicked the tyres a few times) the completely subjective, non scientific and non reliable conclusion being that the T1-S has a softer sidewall.
The Softer sidewall and/or sidewall bulge are giving a definite softer ride, and by a fair margin, which is really strange as the profile is marginally lower it should be a firmer ride.
As soon as I scrub the tyres in I'll let you know my performance impressions, I have a plan to visit the track soon, so I will let you know the lap time difference, before I get the Ground Control and New brake kit fitted which also arrived yesterday. it was like Christmas all over again.
