Baz, was that the T1R or T1S?

Also when did you buy them?

T1Rs are the nads ... have them on the WR1. Only prob with them is that they get ripped to shreds on a track day or with hard road use. Last about half the amount of time that P Zero Neros last. Which I reakon are one of the best tyres to put on.

If you're not going to be doing much track driving, or loads of sideways action around every roundabout then T1Rs are perfect!

T1R
& got mine in 10th (ish) January the same day i picked up the car from XTREMES

I was asking this question a few weeks back and after some digging around it seemed Toyos were the popular choice for value for grip.

I however went for the Michelin PS2's as these were regarded a "better" tyre if you ignored the price.

After the advice on here, I got mine fitted at Leigh tyres, (steve) for £470 fitted, balanced etc., Would add my recommendation to getting them done here.

Thus far they feel far better than the stock Potenza's, but then the Potenza's were worn and did survive a track day before being completely fooked.

Just go for the best you can for your budget.

Everyone has a different view on rubber, and this is imho, and using the knowledge I built up with tyres from racing bikes.

As far as i know he doesnt drive hard not when im around at least, and his car is road use only

You still got the WR1 then Gangsta?

Gangsta Smurf

You won't go wrong with the T1Rs with regular road use then ... price seems pretty decent too. I know generally people don't really look at tyres but they do look pretty nice on!!

I have the WR1 for another week ... so am making good use of it

baz69birds

got my T1-R for £69.95 each just found receipt.
although he did say they had gone up by £8 since ESC had there open day last year!!


you have to meantion ESC when ordering & you HAVE to speak to BARRY ELDRIDGE

VTEC to Turbo

If you want cheap Toyo's go for the T1-S

Still a very good tyre and should be a lot cheaper as they are the older design.

I've got them and have no complaints at all.

V1CK1

I spoke to Barry!

Think i will call again to check, what size were yours Baz?

baz69birds

OH yes ive a CLASSIC on 17's

215/40/17 TOYO PXT1-R RF

V1CK1

To go on the new age, being 18's, not sure if what i have been quoted is good. Anyone know?

Think i will find out about the T1-S, after all its not my car lol

V1CK1

Just for your info, managed to get them down to £100 each for 225/40/18 T1-R

Steve at Leigh tyres quoted me about £80 per corner for T1-r's so worth a call if it's not too far for you.

T1-S are good tyres, though the walls are soft,

T1-R are better as the walls are reinforced, so making them better for track days.

The tyres are a soft compound, hence the high levels of grip.

The Toyo T1-S lasted about a year on my scoob, and thats doing the driver training day, and Silverstone.

My advice is to inflate the tyres to around 35 - 40PSI to stop tyre roll on hard cornering (which kills the walls)

eagle f1! without doubt do a search for good tyres and it should come up with a tyre review somwhere

I have just bought some Yoko Parada's

They look awesome !!

Have always had ZZ3's from Avon but was told to give these a go

Reports to follow

Adidas

T1-R

Had Pirelli P Zero Neros before, got shot of them long before I needed too as the car felt a bit to 'edgy'

On the Pug I swap between Eagle F1 and T1-R's, TBH, I don't really notice the difference.
