whats everyones opinion on toyo t1-r's

[jamo_182]

ive just ordered a set of t1-r's for my 182 just wondering what everyone's opinion of them are are they actually any good ?

 

[MrDave]

Not as good as p zeros i had on before them.

 

[Robert172sport]

Bought 3 for the clio the other day, they stick well even in this rain

 

[Daniel]

Pzeros are expensive, T1R's are not.

T1R's are a reasonable tyre for what they cost. They're not great in the wet, have a pretty weak sidewall but on the plus side, they are dirt cheap. Less than £30 a corner for 15's!

They're not great in the wet

I've had mine on for 18 months, never had any issues in the wet. I think they are a very good tyre for the money.

 

[ChewyB]

Agree with Daniel. They're a good tyre for the cost but obviously not the best. I tried a set of t1rs on track on my r26r and they weren't that bad on a wet track.. Had them on other cars to.

 

[Bren Rogers]

For 15s it makes sense to stretch to PE2s, they're cheap now, and much better.

In the dry, I love the T1R, really really grippy and felt really confident chucking the car around, but in the wet they are cr@p - really didn't like them.

+1 in the dry they're as good as anything else I tried - PE2's, Prada spec 2's, conti sport 2's

It's in the wet where the difference is IMHO, PE2's being miles better

I've got a set on the front at the moment and I don't think they come close to the Hankook V12's I normally use.

 

[Kerwall]

My personal experience, ok and good for the money in a light car, In a heavy car (not really relevant) but shockingly bad! Just my opinion.

 

[Djw John]

Fancy looking budget tyre. Most tyres are fine in the dry. Budget crap is terrible in the wet. T1Rs are terrible in the wet.

 

[jamo_182]

Thanks guys I'm sure they can't be as bad as the cheapo tyres I've got on at the min i understear in the dry if i go to quick lol

 

[Lal B3N]

Not bad for what they cost. Just don't go comparing them to high performance tyres such as Pirelli, Michelin, Conti etc.

 

[XT3MPZX]

i have just ordered a set of t1-r's for my 182 aswell. i had them on my old car. they seem good enough

​The V12's are a similar price and piss over them imo.

 

[m4tt274]

surprising reviews actually, general forum banter usually discards them as rubbish.
I had a set and thought they were actually very good considering the price.

They gripped well and on a track day i did didnt over heat as quickly as some tires i had.
They wore fairly quickly however and didnt grip that well in the wet.

I have Pzeros now and they grip a lot better, but are more than twice the cost.

 

[The_Pirate]

Garbage. I'd rather melt a pair of waders down and make my own.

 

[I_scoff_cake]

I had these on my impreza and they were good. Better than the ditch finders I had on before anyway lol.

 

[Amos91]

Wouldn't touch them.

 

[Ryan218]

They don't last long at all, bad in wet as said. Hankooks are a better alternative

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

You Scottish people are funny.

OT: I like mine, lasted about 7K so far and still got another 7K or more left

 

[cliokid182]

I think there great, I have Dunlop sport maxxx on my other wheels and I think the toyo t1-rs are just as good.

I don't do track days so can't say nothing about on track but I do find it funny how this forum thinks everyone uses there Clio as a trackday car lol.

I use mine in the wet a lot being in Britain . My new Pilot Sport 3's have damn good grip in the wet, something the T1-R's don't. So you're right, its not all about the track.

​Less than £30? Where from? I can't even find them that cheap on ebay. Assuming we're talking 195/50/15?

 

[st3ve]

I found them a bit twitchy in the wet. Can't fault them otherwise.

 

[roberto.]

They were okay. I wouldnt buy them again though. My front two pretty much fell apart after some spirited driving in warm conditions around Kielder.

 

[welsh.Z.S.]

the tread patterns look nice and thats about the only good thing about them lol . too soft for my liking , dont last long at all either , similar price but i found uniroyal rainsports 2 alot better , and lasted ALOT longer aswell .

 

[HenryG]

Didn't even get 5000 out of them before they got the chop they were silly loud as well, I didn't think much to the hankooks v12 either I have falcons on at the mo and they are the best so far but haven't had a go in the wet yet

 

[Martin_172]

I stick to T1-R's now, a riot in the wet but don't drive like a tool and you'll survive.

£140 for 4 on my 172 is pretty much free!!!
