To put on my R/C car


Only joking

I need to get some tyres for the scoob and have narrowed down to 2 makes I think

Toyo T1R and Vredestein Ultrac size 225x45x17

I know some of you have probably used the toyos but would be interested in your views before I buy.

Both are the same price in Elite anyway.

Tidgy

use toyo's on mine but never heard of the others lol

heard good reviews of the Vredestein Ultrac, would sway away from the Toyos after running them

How about Goodyear F1s or Michelins?

I use Toyo T1-R's on mine

But I've heard very good things about the Vredestein Ultrac, especially in the wet... there meant to be unbeatable

I run the Vredestein Ultracs...

Awesome.. absolutely awesome. Very very good in the dry and even better tha Eagle F1s in the wet.

I run those on my 18s. Absolutely love em

Arn't Leigh Tyres the cheapest?

ice643

Vredestein are very good.I have these on my car at the moment.

SirFozzalot

I've been trialling some Vredesteins ( ) for a couple of weeks and I am very, very impressed. Will certainly be my next choice of tyre!

WRX_Dazza

i'd recommend the tamiya, soft compound........ ooops, wrong scale!!!!!

I done quite a bit of research on these tyres having had the toyos, gd3 F1 and potenzas RE070, and now have Micheline's Ps2, I was going to bye the Vredesteins from Zak at Morcom because I needed 235x45x17 and know one else had them, but just as I decided to bye Micheline done a deal of 25% off if you brought 4, and having a membership to Costco`s they were I think only £360 fitted, I have been very impressed with them, the best wet tyre I have had and a very competent tyre in the dry, Not as stiff as the RE070 potenzas which I think you will find hard to beat for dry grip, but still very good, the toyos don`t have the grip of the Ps2`s or the ware rate either the F1`s edges wear very quickly and look poo but have good all weather grip.
Going to stop now before it starts to look like a book.......


Chapter two next week.


Verdict Vredesteins

I will never fit the T1R's on my car again.... rubbish....

Phil

What did you not like?

What are you currently using ?



I haven't had Toyo's for a long time now I used Avon ZZ3's which I liked and I am currently using Yoko Prada's which I also find good

I have the T1R's on at the moment.... heard such good things, wanted to try them, as i had run the Prada's and liked them, but was a little cautios in the wet.....

However the T1R's i find the car squirms all the time... It feels like i'm driving on jelly. the grips good, but with my haredr suspensions and set up etc. i can feel the tyres flex, which intialy feels like i'm loosing grip. This is causing me to back off all the time. or if i overtake quickly, then the car feels unbalanced where the back end starts to wobble in the tyres.....
a very unnerving experience.

i also ran the good year f1's, which i found to be very good.

Obviously crap sidewalls strength mate.

Put the silverstones back on.. i liked those

SirFozzalot

T1R's are supposed to have the reinforced sidewalls aren't they?

frayz

iTrader: (7)

Yeah but how reinforced mate. When youre on a decent track based chassis setup. Road tyre performance just feels worse and worse. They just cant cope with the loadings generated by the chassis.

best tyres i've had on a scooby were the bridgestone so1 that came with my last classic. great all rounder but not sure if you can still get them. had toyo t1-s on there afterwards and was never as happy with them.
