t1-r vs falken

[clio_luke]

needed a couple of new front tyres, i was struggling to get hold of some yoko parada's. but toyo proxes t1-r's came reccomended. and its all good so far! i had a set of falken's before and its not till i got some decent rubber fitted that i realised how sh*te the falken's were. the front end sticks to the road amazingly but the back end is wild! haha. i can drift it! some serious oversteer. cant wait to get some t1-r's on the back. and yes i know. you should have your best rubber on the back.
wet and dry the t1-r's seem a good all round tyre. now lets see how long they last

t1r is soft. wont last as long as falkens

 

[clio_luke]

thats what i thought. seem to grip very well tho

 

[brisa4984]

yeah they do grip superb in the dry. Watch it in the wet. They lasted about half as long as my falkens..

now lets see how long they last

on ma old dynamique they lasted 2 months, wkd tyres just quite soft as said. why are you not putting pe2's on luke?:nono:

half as long! under the same driving conditions??!
i didn't expect them to last as long but hopefully not half the ammount of time. lol.
everywhere was out of yoko parada's and might not get any in for 3 months. i couldn't wait that long

how expensive are pe2's? are they really worth it? i want paradas but struggling to get them.

gone up quite a bit since i bought mine. i cant comment on other tyre brands on ma clio as i've only used pe2's, but i think there well worth the money,awesome dry/wet grip and they last, people on CT were on 18,000 - still original from when they bought there trophy.what about eagle F1's, reasonably priced and good grip levels -
