A lot of tyre for the money! As per the Falken 451's but slightly more grip in the wet. They wear well even with fast driving and repeated hard cornering, mine have done aprox 10k miles on twisty country roads and I still have about 3mm tread left,traction is very good even with hard launches and unlike some of the other tyres I've used they are very stable under heavy/emergency braking. Well worth a look if your after a great all round tyre!

Fantastic tyres, had these front and rear and was very impressed with them considering they are supposed to be a buget performance tyre, good all round, lots of grip in the twisty bits, shoulder profile is also kind to the wheel arches of those with lowered cars! would definately recomend these and happy to use them again!

I had these on my WRX also, they have more than enough grip, look good, cheap, and are quiet. there really is no better tire for those that want the ultimate street tire and auto-x on weekends. These have been successful in high competition auto-x street class, 'nuff said.

Good tires for the price with great grip in wet and dry conditions, Although next to useless in snow!!! Impressed with the wear, done 10000miles and still half the tread left. Changed my cars feel beyond all recognition would definitely buy again!!

The 451's are very good tyres considering the price. I had these on the rear of my old MR2 for a good while. They looked and behaved much better than the budgets which were on before. Very good dry grip as you'd expect and pretty good in the wet too unless you really push it then they start to show their weakness. Seemed to last quite well, fair amount of tread left after 6000 miles. I'd consider buying them again but trying Toyo T1-R's next.

These tyres have more grip than I ever thought possible. Made a huge difference to the handling of my MR2, which went from kicking it's back out rather unexpectedly on tight roundabouts to being absolutely glued to the road in anything above first gear.
In the 12000 miles I've used these tyres the only times I've felt them slip are when I floor it in first gear on a corner and a little understeer through puddles, and even then the tyres are so progressive that I hardly need to do anything to control the slide.
The rear-right is worn out now, due to driving with a busted wheel bearing, plus Toyo warn against using the tyres in sub-zero temperatures, so I'm replacing them with some tyres better suited to winter. Though I doubt, even in wet & greasy conditions, that anything else could be better.
I will buy these again next summer, and take them to a track!

Compared to the ditch-finders currently fitted to the front of the car, the T1Rs perform very well on normal UK roads. When the tyres were in their prime, I was unable to get them to step out of line (in the dry) however hard I tried. My only warning factor with these tyres is that they wear very quickly (I've managed less than 8k miles on this pair) and although the car is RWD, I would've expect a little bit more life out of them.

These are classed as a mid-range performance tyre and I was quite pleased with them for the money.
Grip in the dry was very good as you'd expect with good feel from the road. Wet grip was decent too, but not brilliant and they will let go if you push it too much.
I did have a minor issue with one of the tyres, the tread went out of shape for some reason, although this was after about 8000 miles. The other tyres lasted quite well.
Overall a good performer, worth considering if you're on a budget.

Don't feel these are as good as the T1-S which they don't seem to make anymore but still a good tyre. Not as good as the Bridgestone S-03's the car came with but also a lot cheaper. Don't feel they make that much difference on the front so have stuck with Nasty Nangkangs which last ages. Seem a waste of money at front as don't last that long and don't make that much difference. on the rear however wouldn't try another tyre unless Bridgestone decided to make the s03 potenza again!!!!!!!!

Best tyres I have driven on with MR2. Allow for hard cornering and just stick as you throttle through. Endurance, time has come to change them after 34,500miles of fantastic driving. They are now on the legal limit. Not only did they cope with the snow and ice, they actually gave reassurance. Unfortunately, like all good things, they have come to an end and they are not producing them anymore. Struggling to get a decent replacement.
