The Toyo Proxes R1R have very good wet traction, but will set you back about 650 for a set.
I'm selling a set in this size in the marketplace. They are a good daily driving tire.I really like my continental DWS. Great in rain and cold and frankly, I don't drive fast enough to notice any degradation in dry traction. I am sure there is some, I just can't tell. Safety is more important to me than absolute cornering grip.
Same size R1R's on my car. Love them. Predictable on the track and GREAT in the wet. Will be purchasing new pair in Spring.I'm running R1Rs with 245-40-17 rears and 205-45-16 fronts. No rubs, and they look and drive great. Instructions say not to expose them to temperatures below 15 degrees or they may crack, so not for a daily driver anywhere north....

Which wheels are you running on the fronts, I have a 2008 Elise SC with the sport pack, my stock wheels are 6.5j up front and 7.5j in the rear. Are your wheels 7j and 8j respectively?Same size R1R's on my car. Love them. Predictable on the track and GREAT in the wet. Will be purchasing new pair in Spring.

Same situation. Big improvement in wet over Yokohama and huge improvement in dry over Kuhmo. I choose the size after reading how many others here had done that.I'm running R1Rs with 245-40-17 rears and 205-45-16 fronts. No rubs, and they look and drive great.

I apologize. My R1R's are 205 up front and 235 rear.The stock size is 195/225, so you guys who went for the toyo r1r's,
Why did you choose 205/245 rather than 205/235 and keep the stock difference between front and back tires. Toyo makes a 235 and a 245.
I have the 205s (205/45) on the front on the 5.5" (base) wheels and the 235/40s on the rear. I went with the 235 over the 245 as I'd heard a rumor they have the soft compound all the way down to the carcass and thus will last longer as I'm autocrossing them frequently.The stock size is 195/225, so you guys who went for the toyo r1r's,
