Changed to the T1-Rs after a long stint on EagleF1 GD2s. The TF seems to really like the T1Rs and are as good a replacement for the Manufactures recommended GD2s. The tyres provided shed loads of grip in the dry while maintaining an acceptable amount of grip in the wet even when driving enthusiastically. They reduced cabin noise compared with the F1s and were as comfortable to use. The only downside is that they seem to wear slightly quicker than the F1's but to be honest, the lower cost and higher dry grip negates this! Top tyre for the car and will buy again!

Cant really comment on wear but these tyres grip very, very well in the dry. They are a tad louder than old set but most V tread tyres are the same.
Overall very good indeed.

Not too bad at all - had these on the front and they spent about a month there while waiting for my new tyres.
Responsive and crisp with a good wear rate - not suitable for wet use on anything other than a 4 door saloon though as grip was not good at all.
Previous comment about proper suspension setup is probably about right. The TF rivals and probably just beats the MX5 on handling (I drive both regular) and they both make good use of the performance of a tyre rather than just being steering tools.

Fulda was a brand I was aware of and other tyres by them have impressed F / TF owners before.
The tread pattern drained water very well and felt planted even on the motorway in the heaviest of rain. Around tight country roads they excelled giving very good grip and a controllable limit with plenty of feedback.
I cant comment on total wear. They were on the car when I bought it and looked about 7mm - after 7000 miles of spirited driving they had around 5mm left. The TF and F dont really wear fronts out fast due to the RWD.
On a Mid engined car with a proper RWD setup with no traction control they performed very well. I added a set to the rear about 3 months before selling the alloys and they performed very well too.
