Toyo R1R 195-50-15 ... The same pic u kept my freind.
Google them and found them but they cost 616$ with 316$ for shipment.
Quite expensive.
The ones I have are roadstone radials 195-55-15 not good or corners they slip easily .. I like them when I want to make a small spin on the corner and let my car wheels side ways lol, but I want the ultimate street performance.

so tel me how does it feel driving in them R1R?

I don't know since i haven't used them. Some friends of mine though who have them say that they are really sticky! I have experience of toyo 888 which are semi slick tyres and i was amazed of how much traction they provided (you feel like you can turn every corner no matter the speed). Still i don't recommend them for everyday use. Stick with the r1rs

This is the link with sticky tyres from camskill
I suggest you wait

Yeah I will. Thx saxo.
U know . Today I spoke to the main distributor of toyo here in dubai and he said thlee R1Rs are not yet out in this country . They only have the T1R for speed the type looks like too many v shapes above each other he explained.
Didnt feel it much but I though maybe I could but them here from a local distributor , easy on my pocket.

However ill wait. They will look insain on my eg9.
Cant wait to get them ..

If you want to go insane, go for the R888. I got a pair for sprints in GG compound which is medium, a softer (triple G?) exists as well. But I do not recommend those when it rains. Now in Dubai that might be do-able?

2 weeks ago i bought R1Rs for my ef9. awesome tires. the grip is very high. braking has also improved.
steering is a little heavier, but with a very nice feel.
i think R888,is extreme solution for road use but better for tracks and R1R more...."sensible" for every day use

I heard the R888 is used as intermediate tire in some race classes here in the Netherlands. Intermediate okay, but normal road and rain... I am afraid of aquaplaning. Btw the R888 is often wider than other tires though advertising the same size specs!

R1R is also wider than others. it's more....."square". profile is not exactly 50,too. i could say it's somewhere between 50-55!!!! the ef9 seems taller with R1Rs,hahaha
