Toyo T1R Reviews

Given 76% (breakdown) while driving a Opel Astra H CDTI (225-40-18-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 15,000 average miles
I got these for three years. In dry conditions they are very good. Even at the limit they keep the car well. However in wet conditions, they are not as good as other competitors. The biggest problem is the temperatures, when it is cold outside, they don't perform well. I drive them for around 25000 km. and they last well. Good tyres, but not perfect!

Driving on a combination of roads for 8,000 spirited miles
The Toyos are hugely confidence inspiring, The car feels planted through the corners and is very predictable on the limit. Even if you do find yourself going beyond the available grip the breakaway is progressive, with good feedback through the wheel wet or dry.

Given 47% (breakdown) while driving a Ford Fiesta (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles
Great performing tyre in the dry but terrible in the wet. I had them on a fiesta and it was great fun in the summer, you can really sling your car around, however as soon as it rains that grip goes. The only good thing is that it starts to slip rather than completely going so you can feel your limit. As they are a soft compound the wear is terrible i think i got about 7000 miles out of mine but it depends how you drive it. I wouldn't recommend

Driving on mostly country roads for 20,000 average miles
Fantastic tyres, just bought my third pair, fitted to a diesel Clio they work as well as could be expected. They're good for 10k on the front, the pair on the rear have done over 20k and still only half worn. Excellent value mid range tyre, to think a few years ago these were classed as budgets.

Given 47% (breakdown) while driving a Subaru Impreza (215-40-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 6,000 spirited miles
Terrible. Sidwall is soft, as are the tread blocks. Initial turn-in is vague, then the tyre wall collapses, and then the tread blocks squirm. Does not give confidence, or road feedback, so you're not feeling connected.

Due to the soft walls the shoulders scrub off in no time, and in fact scrubbing can be seen coming up the tyre wall! Folk overinflate them in an attempt to mitigate the softness, but trying to fix something.

They are after all a budget tyre. Went to a Yokohama AD08 which is staggeringly good

Not a very good tyre at all in the wet, let along icy conditions. Loses grip very easily in the wet - no confidence at all in driving on wet roads. Braking is also abysmal in the wet.
