Just to let everyone know Bridgestone are making a new performance tyre called the Adrenalin RE002. Looks like quite a good tyre, i think it is something to compete with the like of Yokohama Parada and the Toyo Proxy.

Love that tread pattern.
I need to do some research on tyres for next time they all need changing - Toyo no longer produce the T1R, so limited stocks now, so need to decide what to go for next. Dependant on price and performance of course. Will see what the reviews say about these

I dont think toyo have stoped. Ill check with toyo tomorrow for you. I loved my yokohama paradas, perfect for track day. If you have loads to spend check out the yokohama a048.

That's probably what I'll end up putting on the track car - the ST is still my daily - I was using it for trackdays last year but decided to get something dedicated which I should be picking up at the end of the month if its all in good order.
I usually buy the tyres off of Camskill, and they've gone from having a few in stock to not having any in stock and not expecting any deliveries of them - I wondered if they were bringing out a new tyre too...
Parada spec-2's were a brilliant tyre for me, but since they went up from £75 to £100 a pop at my fitters i went for some toyo t-1r's they've been brilliant, decent in the wet too!

Toyo were running short on stock, day of production was 7/3/13 so they will be getting them soon. It is still definatly a current tyre and there is no plans to supersede them.

Haggle with them, at £100 there making about £50 profit a tyre.
