Definately stick with the RE001 for now.
It's however a good all round road tyre that is resonably quiet and quite comfortable, and not a replacement for the RE01R nor a competitor for the AD07, for that you'll need the new RE11 which like the RE01R and AD07 has more aggressive pattern, construction and compound where ride, noise and tyre life is not that important.
I started tracking on my re001 on 195/50 15 size on my EG5, initially on only 1.75 deg neg cam and they got ripped up pretty quick on near new tread depth and shoulders copped a hammering at the barg raceway as you would expect.
But once worn down the wear rate on track is much better and also now with 2.5 deg neg camber the shoulder is much better now.
I've since bought Toyo R888 in wider 205 50 size, and despite the grip being much more and car much more planted at the track, lap time only 2.0s faster.
I still use my re001s for tuning days for testing car setup, bolting on my R888s at the track for as little as I could towards end of my session.
Wont bother with the AD07 now, esp when the AD08 just released with claimed big improvements in construction and compound ( hopefully the typical advan/yoko tyres going hard after 1-2 years now thing of the past ). Many AD07 retailers are clearing the stock at discounted prices now to make way for the AD08.

Can anyone give some input as to how the Toyo T1S and Toyo T1R compare? plz

How much is the RE01-R retailing for in Australia ?
RE01R are not actively distributed here in Australia but you can get them. Trackside tyres in Melbourne will sell them to you but I am not sure where you would find them in Perth. They will be very expensive.Quote:

tried a few places for RE01R pricings couple of months ago, they were all above 300bux for 205/50/15...ridiculous prices...
Try the new Ku36 from Kumho...it looks really good...
Wear rating @180 so its in the range of the Falken 615 etc...
and then give us a field report...
