Great street car with R1Rs, grips with confidence. Never driven on a track but swiftly and safely on back roads.
Car is well balanced, understeer and oversteer are very controlled even though I prefer oversteer, the tires are predictable. I have never been caught out on them. Relatively quiet tire on the 510 but more so on my 2001 Miata. Miata has suspension changes as well but as everyone knows, lacks power. With R1Rs the ride is very comfortable and the cornering is excellent with a bias toward oversteer. I don’t drive either car in the rain so can’t comment on wet grip. Depending on how heavy your foot I would expect 15 to 20K miles on these for both my cars.
