Toyota Celica GT4 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric given 100% (225-45-17-W)

AMAZING!!! Brought from Camskill for ?185 a pair. In the wet especially they are just immense, the car used to understeer in the wet, now the front just keeps gripping and the back (which is still on budget rubber) just lets go! Will buy again!!!

Writing about the Uniroyal Rainsport 2 given 89% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
I don't know why there are some bad reviews for these tyres, I think they are excellent. I have been buying Uniroyal tyres for years, but living in Northern Ireland we experience a lot more wet weather than most of the UK.

Uniroyal tyres are made by Continental in Germany, so the quality is superb. Wet grip is phenomenal, dry grip is as good as Toyo Proxies. Luckily for me the celica gives excellent drivers feedback unlike a lot of these more modern cars.

My previous tyres were Pirelli Pzero's and before that I had a set of Falken's on but Uniroyal wet & dry grip is far superior!

I would say the only problem I have with these tyres is road noise, but that's more down to my car than the tyres.

These tyres came with a set of wheels on ebay. Couln't afford the offered upgrade to Falkens at the time and to be honest, i'm glad. They've been carrying my moderately tuned (315bhp) jap import around as a daily driver car for close to 2 and a half years and are just bordering on legal at the mo, after nearly 21k of often spirited but mostly short journey driving. Grip in the dry is as good as the pirelli p zero's i had fitted previously(which lasted little more than a year) although the wet grip isn't fantastic, yet fine if driven sensibly. The tread pattern is very similar to the Yokohama's which came with my car when i imported it and the grip level probably matches those japanese wonders. Maybe my cars 4 wheel drive and big spoiler lend a bit of extra roadholding to the tyre. A GREAT VALUE BUDGET PERFORMANCE TYRE. Shopping around for a new set right now!

I've no idea what half of the other reviewers here are doing with these tyres, I bought these to put on a 300hp 4WD celica and while they do lose some grip in the wet obviously, they grip really quite well (better than other tyres I've had at twice the price!) and are progressive when they let go. My problem with them is I go through them approximately every 10-12K miles on the front, 20K on the rear.

Writing about the Toyo T1S given 64% (225-45-17-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 7000 spirited miles
Wear rate is far too high.
Beyond that, A good and mostly underrated performance tyre. Though leaves me feeling like there's more can be had maybe, and so will be trying something else next time....but only out of curiosity.

Takes forever to run the tyres in. About 100 miles of atrociously low grip levels. Then suddenly, the tyre came into it's own.

Managed the journey to and from the nurburgring. And 3 quick laps of it, with very little complaint. Lots of feedback. And you really know when they were going to let go.

I have these on at the moment they are fine in the dry but the least bit of wet and they will slid on corners and roundabouts and also if they are cold they also slip abit on corners. wont get again i will be going for some toyo's.

Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 spirited miles
Great price but the tyre shows for it. Admittedly I probably shouldnt be expecting too much from a budget tyre on a 300+bhp car but considering price isnt too bad in dry condition. As soon as the water falls though expect unpredictable cornering even from a 4wheel drive coupe! Stopping power not too bad either fairly hard to lock up. Have found these tyres produce a fair bit more road noise than past tyres (namely BS Potenzas) but seem to hardly wear at all. Not sure would buy again think ill spend that bit more and stay with Bridgestone.
