I asked them why they went with R1R after being on AD08R, and they claim that Toyo changed the compound this year. I dunno, but I think it ha to do with Toyo has a huge contingency program up here, even though they might not be the "it" tire this season.

Interesting, that's the first I've heard about the compound change. From guys I know who used the old R1R's, consensus seemed to be great rain tire, sub-par dry tire. Wonder if the compound change will make the R1R's competitive.
Honestly even on something like an RE71R, I'd be doubtful about the 1:15 laptime. Possibly on a race compound...
