It's that time to change tyres again, and trawling the messages seems to give a tie between Toyo T1-Rs and GYear F1 GSD3s.

I have WRX 03 5-door + PPP + Prodrive suspension + Powerstation rollbar and caster-angle mod, which all works very nicely with the Toyo Proxes T1-S tyres I have at the moment.

However, one has a slow leak and with only 2mm left, I figure it's time for some new ones.

The local tyre guy (who claims to service people from the prodrive factory) reccomends the P7000s, by my last Pirelli experience was not brilliant (OK to good in dry, skates in wet - but can't remember which variant).

Also, anyone know how the T1R-s compare with the Proxes T1-Ss?

I'd b e very grateful for any and all opinions and also details of anyu good places in Bucks for tyres & alignment.

Work considering Yokohama Parada 2's.
Just fitted them to fine- pretty chuffed so far

 

I've had P7000s on mine (18" classic) and they are OK, nothing to right home about and they don not have a rim protector bar either so what out parking . Personally i'd consider the Toyo's from your list, or as said above the Yokos appear to be well regarded if a little soft....

I've just got Continental ContiSports 2 for a change (18" on a newage), we'll see how they go.

T1-R are better on the T1-s
forget the P7000
Goodyear are also v good

 

Have F1GSD3s on mine; very impressed. Strong all around grip and traction; particularly secure in the wet.
