Toyos?

Toyo Proxes cf1, any good? They have a good write up on blackcircles.com I need to replace all 4 so dont want to have to pay a fortune for them.

 

camskill.co.uk, toyo T1R, bargain of the year.

 

yup

 

Not in my size unfotunately, I've got 185/60/14s

 

14's? get some eagle f1's toyo's are pap

 

toyos are awesome.

people who dismiss them are wrong, the only downside is that they are soft and wear quicker than others.

 

moderator jus told ya, BOOOOOM!!! sac shot

 

nothing but the finest wangkangs go on my vectra alright??

 

In the dry? Yes.

Mildly moist? They are shockingly poor...

Soft and quick wearing too.

F1s are comparable in the dry (despite their harder compound, and lower wear rate) and massively out perform them in the wet.

All in my own experience of course...

 

I've never clicked with T1-Rs...they aren't as good as the T1-S's were and seem to need different camber/pressures to work as well.

I am thinking of trying F1s next...so after hearing what Stu has said, I think I will.

 

i have neve heard of any bas experiences with F1's (on here anyway) but toyo'as get mixed reviews, im not alone in thinking they are pants

 

f1s asymmetric or directional, just trying to find some in my size so i can get the cost

 

I`ve not tried Assymetrics, but all the reviews rate them quite highly.

The directionals (GSD3) look so much better though.

 

I wouldn't use Toyo's on a daily in the UK, really don't like them at all and they aren't as cheap as people think as they wear twice as fast as any other tyre I've tried!

Far better stuff out there around the same price - Eagle F1's, Rainsport 2's and even the P-zero nero's in some sizes.

 

Maybe not on a heavier car but on my lupo gti they are good and in the wet. Only wearing on the insides because of the 1 deg camber i have. I think most of the tyres you mention there are quite a bit dearer than T1r's

 

I cant seem to find them in the right size, I can fit different profiles cant I, not that bothered on looks just need to be nice and grippy

 

Your speedo will be out with different profiles, but if you can live with that (most of us do! ) then yes, as long as they are not massively different.

What sizes do you `need`, and what alternatives are available?

 

I have 185/60/14 at the mo, there is 185/55/14 and 185/50/14 but didnt know how much difference they would make, was gonna go for the toyos I started the thread with as they are 30ish a corner

 

5% of 185 is only a cm extra on the profile shouldnt be too bad. 30 a corner? I dream of tyre prices like that!!! what brakes do you have behind those 14's?

 

Stock 8v ones, got new brembo discs and pads but yet to put them on, i was gonna get part worns 15 each fitted! I want all the same tread all round and new better quality than the part worns they give you
