Toyo T1R

Great Tyres and at a decent price.

I'm going to be short, tyres grip well in the dry, thats the good points over now the bad, the tyres wear very quickly, once worn they are a nightmare in the wet, constant wheel spin, 4 wheel slides, you feel every road defect and are always fighting with the steering (the car is fine), the profile seems smaller to other tyres with the same profile. did not like at all, felt they are over rated and not as cheap as people say are, i think the old cheap Fulda tyres i had on before were way better. Gone to Hankooks now will review later.

Excellent performance. Best tyre I've ever had so far, only downside is they wear far too quick (9000 miles done and the fronts need replacing) but they can be found at very cheap prices especially in 195/50/15 format so the value of them makes up for the wear. Never lost grip in the dry unless wanted to, and only had a brown moment in the wet once, but the tyres gripped well in that certain experience.
Great breaking ability and corners very true and straight.
Sides could do with reinforcing some more as I find it they wear too quick on the shoulders.
Excellent tyre choice for trackdays and fast road, very popular amongst these two categories.
Buying again as we speak (£28 a pop, bargain!) and will carry on buying until the replacement shows up.

Nice in the dry, but could be better. Wet ok and wear is correlating with loss of grip especially in the wet, under steering a lot...

These tyres really suit my MGF and improve the grip in the dry and the feedback through the wheel. Good grip together with low noise make this a great tyre in dry conditions. Slightly slippery in the wet, but progressive with no sharp break away. I certainly find them better than The Eagles they replaced.

Brought two new tyres in mid November, now having to change them due to wear!! completly bald on the rears.
They look good but do not last long having only covered 8000 miles. I would not buys these again.

Not as good in the dry as almost bald P Zero Nero's and in the wet even worse. But still much better than Yoko Parada 2's
At least they give plenty of feel as they loose grip, nothing sudden.
I need some tyres but will go for Uniroyles or Pirelli's But I think and just keep the Proxies to distroy on trackdays.

Just replaced the rear tyres on my MGF with Toyo T1R's, (with Avon ZV5's being my second choice due to price). These tyres have made a huge difference to grip. I drive on all sorts of roads and find the rear grip in the dry and wet is now amazing. I've also used these on snow and grip seems to be acceptable, let down by the other brand of tyre I have on the front. Though I've not used the car on snow prior to the Toyo's so have no comparison.
All in all a Great tyre.

Great tyre for the money.. Out performs most 'premium' makes...

Excellent dry grip and perfect line in the corners. Maximum brake performance. Very good in water but not perfect. Excellent for track acivities. Buy again? OF COURSE!
