Toyota T Sport Tyres

These feel toit as a tiger and as the name suggest the feel is transformation in comparison to the best mid range tyres (Rainsport 2, FK412's wtc..). If you have a common high profile tyre these could be for you however the only drawback could be wear rate because I presume all this comes at a compromise. To compound the wear issue the thread is not very deep to begin with. For those with expensive sizes then take a look at the Kumho Ecsta.

This was a superb choice at the time when I gave it a glowing review but the soft sidewalls caused allot of edge ware and unwanted roll on my bigger heavier car with more suspension travel. For UK road use The Falken ZE912 is an all round better tyre than the FK452. Uniroyal Rainsport 2 can be had for a similar price for sports cars making the FK452 redundant.

The extremely deep threaded Rainsport disappointed me like the Falken FK452 in terms of feel and driving pleasure. I am not sure if it is the side walls or the flexible thread that made them feel odd even the wife noticed. Increasing the tyre pressures to full load recommendation of the cars helped both these but dry grip is reduced because the tyre becomes hard.

Why buy either of these? On some popular high profile sizes “Dunlop SP Sport Fast Response” can be had for as little as £4 more but if you have expensive rare size "Kumho Ecsta KU31" are usually hands down the best value.

I had inherited a brand new set of these. Greasy and wet roads a challenge and they lose pressure quicker than others. Breaking ok however my car only weighs 900kg. Traction bad. Winter performance terrible. If your after a cheap tyre the mid range Falken ZE912 is ideal for normal drivers on UK roads as they have better all season performance. If your spirited driver on a budget the mid range Kumo KU31 would be better bet.
