toyo t1r or proxes 4's

[JakeJ]

Hi guys,

Just got a set of turini's but there are some tyres that need replacing. I will most likely be going for one of these 2 and just wondered what everyone's experiences are with both choices.

If you can recommend another tyre for very similar price then let me know

Cheers
Jake

I've got proxies 4. They are ok, not amazing in the wet but they do for me.

I like the T1R, people give them a bad review on here but i think it's a good tyre.

yh i have had a few sets of T1R's i rate them

 

[Aaron182.]

Hankook k110 v12 Evo's

or

Pirelli Pzero Nero's


save up and get
Yokahama Advan Neova AD08's


toyos wear out way to quickly for me

Is it for road or track use Jake?

 

[plymcl172]

I have proxes 4's and I think they are a great tyre.

Some people slate them but I can't see any reason why. I chose these over the Hankooks and am more than happy

 

[scottiebhoy]

Ill be guessing but i think just road use? If so id prob just go for proxes 4's. I have T1rs on my 182 but need changed now, not best in the wet.

 

[Adam G]

If it is a 1.2 and it's only for road use, do you really need anything other than budgets?
Really?

 

[Rob Gee]

I have always used Toyo's in the past but when the clio needed new tyres i went for the Uniroyal Rainsport 2's.

Providing that you dont drive that hard to overheat them (10mins on track) they are brilliant! I'll never use toyos again.

Really?

And when it rains?

I had Yokohama parades on my non sport and they were perfect for me.

 

[Adam G]

And when it rains?

Put my wipers on and drive at a safe speed.

For 21 years of driving on the road I've never once really thought that I NEEDED performance tyres, especially on a 1.2 car.
On track different story.

 

[JakeJ]

yes its a 1.2 and for road use but where i am there can be quite a lot of standing water so dont want some budget rubbish that wont work in the wet. How do the uniroyals compare to the toyo's? There were 2 on the turini's but they are really bad tread levels so dont want to push hard on them.

 

[M19TNR]

New T1S

 

[TimR26]

I'd get the Uniroyals or Hankooks that have been suggested.

 

[Adam G]

Well based on this, as it's rained overnight and my wife's only got budget tyres, she better not go to work today.
:banghead:

 

[Aaron182.]

For every day driving in a 1.2 I found the hankooks more than capable.

 

[Meek_racing]

I find T1R's totally fine in dry and wet. If your going to be thrashing it about or pushing the car to it's grip levels then yes they will give in easier to better and more expensive tyre makes, but normal driving they do the job just fine.

 

[Lal B3N]

Proxe 4s will be more than enough for 1.2

T1R are more performance aimed as are T1S.

Or have a look at Falken ZE912 or FK452's. May be a similar price and will last a bit longer.

Or Kumho KU31/37/39. Again just as good as proxe 4's but will last a bit longer and should be a littler bit cheaper.
