I have run the R-1s and Hoosiers on my little wimpy '84 911 at both DEs and races. I think the R-1 is a good tire and a value compared to the Hoosiers. People say the Hoosiers have more grip and the R-1s last longer. This may be true, but I bet 98 out of 100 people reading this forum wouldn't be able to tell, myself included.
It's all about getting as close to the edge of the friction circle as possible. Once there, it really doesn't matter what tire you are running unless time really matters (i.e. a race). It's all about seat time and working on car control.
I would still use the R-1s for practice, but they are not available in the size I need. Hey, maybe I should get a new ride?
