Have just ordered these for a cracking price delivered from camskill! £245 and a few pence.

Cant wait to see how these will perform over the T1-R's i currently have on.
 
I smashed the rears on my S2000 in under 6000 miles.

Normal driving with a little bit of playing around.
 
I'm getting some put on my FN2 rears at the weekend if the garage confirms the MOT advisory, but contradicts my 3 and 4 mm measurements...

I've been a lazy bugger and they are still sat in my spare room.
 
Looking at some of these myself. Did you go for 215/40? I'd be wanting to get at least 15k miles out of them on an ep3. I would be curious to know what milage ep3 owners get out of these.
 
These are good tyres, they've got a bit of a soft compound which is why they perform well (grip) - but tend not to last very long.

This is terrible for normal driving. They must be incredibly soft.

No lie either Beardo, swear to God.

I had done a few wet doughnuts and one 6 lap track day, shocking really.

I'm gutted as affording to buy tyres that often is something I can't afford.
 
No idea. I can't even remember when they were fitted to be honest. I *think* they were fitted in the summer of 2009 and there was still a good 5mm left in April this year, so I'd reckon around 9k miles.
 
I orderd two from camskill as i already have them on the rear, getting them fitted tomorrow, heard nothing but great reviews
 
Mine are nice and warm still...

yep got the 215/40's, i have that size on my car at the moment with the T1-R's
 
ok had these on for about 200 miles now and mostly in the snow. they have done a good job in the white stuff, something i cant say the same for when i had the T1-R's. wet tarmac acceleration does not lose me traction as i just spinned the wheels before on the same throttle response and braking, wet or dry does not make me lock up when braking hard.

overall a very good tyre, cant wait to see what they are like on track and in the warm dry summer!

T1-R's = 4/10
452's = 7.5/10
 
I wouldn't use them on track, they'll burn up in a few laps I reckon due to the soft compound.
