I've had Toyo Proxes T1-R's before (not on an RS though) and found them to be just like Graeme described, very soft so very sticky, but short life, which is how I like 'em. Never used the T1 Sports though.
I have those exact Dunlops on my B7 right now (model and size). They are Ok, and by Ok I mean they are not a patch on Goodyear Eagle F1s but they are better than Conti's or P-zeros. Not sure which I'd go for out of those 4. Defo not the conti's, never had the Vreds before, but if the T1 Sports are anything like the old T1-Rs then it would be those ones.
