The subtle modder Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 AL (NFBR) i know when i talked to you at ultimate dubs you heavily dissed the performance of the toyos but to be honest i cant see why im well impresed with mine in both wet and dry and i drive mine bloody hard sometimes, i can take corners at 60 without being scared no problembetter wet weather grip than yokos, miles miles better than them crap dunlop sports, better than michelin energys and a few otherswayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramirez Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Having run both the T1-S and F1s on my Bathursts, I have to say its very much a split desision.T1-S: Great in the dry compitent in the wet unless you can get them warm, then their great to. They're easy to heat up due to their soft compound, which is also their down fall as I eat through fronts every 8k or so. Some of that is due to my huge neg camber though.F1: Good all rounder, work from cold well not as good in the dry as the toyos. Marginaly better in the wet generally, but seem to take a lot longer to heat up. Last about 15k on my car.Reallisticly, if you spend more time pottering about get the F1s, but if you like to rag your car go for the T1-S (and be prepared for more frequent trips to the garage for tyres).I'll stick with the T1-S until I get a new daily, then I'll be on to 888s style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Although Toyo have stopped making 205/45/R15.......are they still making other sizes? (and I've just embaressed myself because I can't remember what size my tyres are.... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />)I have decided after a scary moment Sunday I need to replace my back Tyres with Toyo T1-Rs like the fronts.....
