T1-R tyre user - any other choices?

[TDIfurby]

Shall be due a pair of new front tyres soon.... Especially after VAGfest on Sunday when a lot of tread should be left down Santa Pod's 1/4 mile as I try and get that 13 second pass in my diesel....

Have used T1-R for years now - love the grip, hate the slippiness below 5 degrees but how often?... hehe.
Also unlike many others, I also get good mileage out of a pair of tyres - At least 15,000 from fronts.

So, I can get a pair delivered to me for about £75 each which ain't bad, but wondering if perhaps I should consider other tyres? Especially as I will soon be running close to 300bhp and the front wheels being the most important.... Tyre size is 215/40 R17.

I have the Falken 452's on my XJR and they are sound. Vredesteins (sp) are a good bet as well/

I did see some Ultrac Sessantas? (spelling? ) for about the same price, so would consider them.

Eagle F1 Asymetrics are probably the best allrounders just now. Maybe if your only interested in dry grip some r888's would be an idea.

Would have 888s in a second if I could afford them.

I think a pair of Sessantas at £79 each, then £10 fitting would be the best for me now.

Odd tyres makes a car look shocking in my opinion.

Sessanta tyre profile is not too much different to T1-R. Just want the best tyres on the driven wheels.
