As far as AX performance, the T1R is not even considered, while two people could argue all day about the RS2 versus the Azenis for AX usage. The RS2 has real nice grip and is a good tire.
Black, nasty (6UL) sex...
Yesterday I made it out to see AJ and he mounted my new tires up on my new 6ULs (thanks, AJ!). Early this morning before it got hot, I put the new boots on, washed the car, and took some pics.
BTW, I'm glad I snagged the RS2s on closeout. They seem to be one hell of a tire so far - much sharper than the T1R on turn-in, still smooth on the highway, although not quite as supple over hard bumps and expansion joints. Haven't had a chance to really thrash them yet, but I think I done good. The fronts have scraped a couple of times over big dips, so I'll need to monkey with the fenders/liners a little in the coming weeks, but for the most part I don't have any interference problems.
And here's the finished product...
'94 Black & Black & Tan
'99 head swap, JR header, TDR intake & header blanket, MegaSquirt, RB hollow bar, Tein Flex, 15x8 6ULs, HD M2 Sport, FM cat, Borla cat-back, black '95M interior, MOMO Zebrano, IL Motorsport console...

I too am enjoying some new 6UL/R-S2 love. AJ does great work. I'll probably head back over there this week to get the alignment done.

Black wheels are great for a track/autoX car. Yours looks awesome.
Nickel is great for the garage queens

Hey Rick for the scraping just bend the tabs up all the way that the liners are screwed to. It should fix your problem. But you may want to take the screws out where the liner mounts so that they done crease your fender if they get pushed up anymore. If that don't work just roll the lip carefully and you'll be good to go. I'm partial to the nickel or bronze myself but it don't look bad. Good choice of wheels and you'll love the tires!
