payna Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 yeah ive just ordered some 215/45 toyo `t1-s` tonight.i cant wait to get them on... sadly having to break into my coilover fund, but as snoop says;Obviously coilovers are good, but not if you have crap tyres. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Had my 17's on nearly 2 years now and had 10 Yokohama A539's on since I got them. Thought these tyres were amazing but just had a set of Toyo Proxes put on the front and they are amazing. Best tyres I have ever had (apart from Yokohama A008 on my mini).The Toyo's are quiet, comfy, amazing dry grip, and so far good in the wet. They even look nice and have a rounded shoulder so I can lower the car more now style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> as got more arch clearance.

payna Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 yeah the a539's are good but they do wear down quite quckly i found. i had them on my last car for about 18 months and atleast half of the tread had gone when i sold it. looking forward to getting my toyo's on tho! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dare Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I defo think we should have a tyre tryed and tested section! As we well know the standard dunlops on our loops are proper crap so anyone in theyre right mind will want to change them. So a guide letting everyone know about the alterative tyres and their pro's and con's i.e In wet, In dry, Hard cornering, daily driving, general wear, look, price and so onWhat dya recon?

DanGTI Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I think to anyone that actually enjoys driving their GTI loop a set of Toyo's are up there on the essential mods list alongside coilovers & a BMC filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I got my loop back this afternoon and after some proper sideways/4 wheel drift action round a roundabout (testing whether VW have got my steering sorted, which they have) i have decided not to wait and am looking at some Toyo's this weekend, feck it its only money!!Ive had it with these scarely crap tyres!!! :x What sorta price have you guys been quoted?toyos changed my life *Trisha Special* style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payna Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 well ive got them on and it was worth every penny, they are spot on. grip in the wet is brilliant. although the front drivers side rubs on the arch liner on full lock.... but who cares! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twisty b-road Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 although the front drivers side rubs on the arch liner on full lockIs yours lowered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payna Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 no its not lowered mate, i was wondering about this cos it doesnt rub badly, just the corner of the tire on the rear of the arch liner on the front drivers side when on full right lock.i was wondering if the arch liners would have to be removed to lower it?
