dipsy Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 With Toyo no longer making the T1R i don't know what tyres to go for know ?????
badbaz Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I run RE070s but agree, they are dangerous in wet or greasy conditions. The others I use are Goodyear Eagle F1 (asymmetric pattern) and can't fault them
ur.a.bus Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 i'm getting toyo t1 sports fitted tomorrow, will let you know how i find them
ciaranrb5 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I run Goodyear eagle F1's on all my cars have to be the best all round tyre I have found.
spect Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I use Proxes now, fitted them a month ago, far better than the Avon ZV5 or 070s I have previously used.
mystery machine Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 As you don't use the car in snow or ice, it might be worth considering Bridgestone RE070s. I've been running these for a month or so now, including a few spirited runs down the back roads and the sheer level of dry grip they offer is pretty astounding. The stiff sidewall contributes to nice precise steering too. Compared to the Avon ZZ3s I was running before, the Bridgestones have less grip when they're cold and the road is damp/greasy. I haven't used them in the wet yet, but you only have to look at the tread pattern (or lack of one) to know they aren't going to be great! I only tend to really push the car in the dry once the tyres have had a chance to warm up, so the RE070s are great for me as a 'summer' tyre. Plan on fitting something different to my spare wheels for the colder/greasier winter months.
scooby222 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 goodyear eagles get my vote too Kevin, got them on my 17's and 18's
fai17 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 What size are you running Kevin? I have had 050 070 f1 t1r and i would rate the 070 best for feel,handling and grip. F1 i found good for road use but not good on track and too soft a side wall.Great wet grip tho. 050 0em tyres was total crap. T1r probably the best all round tyre i've had.
