Vauxhall Astra 1.6 SXi Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Toyo T1R given 80% (205-50-16-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 9000 spirited miles
Dry Grip - These tyres are absolutely fantastic in the dry. You can really chuck it into corners and it will stick.

Wet Grip - The tyres perform very well in the wet, however as with any tyre, if you push it too much you will eventually slip. If driven sensibly for the road conditions you shouldn't experience any problems

Road Feedback - These tyres are of a very soft compound therefore road feeback is excellent and really gives you the confidence to push the car to its limits.

Wear - The downside to haveing very soft compound tyres is that they do wear at quite a fast rate. After about 7500 miles i started feeling a small difference in the grip i was having.

Comfort - These are very comfortable and provide little road noise, so ideal for long journeys

Buy Again - I certainly would. I managed to pick these up at a great price and and the large list of Pro's certainly outweight the minor Con's (mainly being the rate of wear).

Not sure on these, i heard rave reviews, and i was mega happy when i found a set of alloys on ebay with a receipt for the new tyres fitted a week before (still had the white stuff all over them from when they were fitted)

In the snow and ice they were nasty, i had a MK4 astra at the time, i touched the pedal and went flying nearly into a phone exchange!!

In the dry thy were very good, very sticky and grippy, certainly better than the stupid budgets on before them!!

Might very them again one day, maybe in the summer!!
