Need to get the tyres changed and I've read a lot of positive comments about the T1-Rs. However, I can't find the old link that had people's comments on. There seems to be a new one but that only has about 6 so far.
Where is the old link?
Thanks
Jason
what this one?

No, just read that one.
It had a standard format - like the one in the performance section now. But, it had lots and lots of comments of all types of tyres.
Jason
i remember the one you mean now and you're right, i've just been back through 22 pages and it's not there, over to Martin and Mark i think
Martin was working on this I believe, but hes now gone...
I'll post a reminder to the current admin...
Well i can reccomend the Toyo T1-S's, still scrubbing in but WHAT a difference, totally transformed the car.
Went for 225.40.16 and 195/50/15's in the end. I am dead chuffed and its all thanks to the advice given on here.
Apparently the 195's (T1-R's) are in short supply?
I'm on RE040's - what tyres did you have before?
Jason
RE040's nad then Pilot sports
So the Toyos are better than RE040s? Good stuff.
Thank you admin gods
Jason
debate time for me now that the comparisons back up,
i'm off to Donnington on the 3rd and i've got stock bridgstones on with about 4-5mm on them, do i swap em out now for the T1-R's or use the bridgstones and kill them on the track??

Tracksports, why want in??? s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

just thinknig that BAT offer a tyre change service, kill the bridgies and tehn swap the toyos before returning home.
Stu
Kill the Bridgestones. You wouldn't want to trash your new ones on day one plus they'll still have the release agent on and will have less grip. As far as I've read they need to cover at least 300 miles before they bed in.
The Bridgestones should do you alright. Mine started off with less tread than yours have but were knackered at Brunters. I would expect Donno to be a much smoother surface so you could still have life in them afterwards.

cheers Jason s:D :D s:D
nice to have someone confirm things for me, i've ordered the replacement tyres for when i get home already as i know i'm gonna kill whats left of the Potenza's s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Guys,
Is it ok if I put in tires of these spec?
Front: 195/55R15, Rear: 195/50R15 ?
Please advise.
why on earth woudl you?
Quote from: "markiii"why on earth would you?
That's because the shops do not have anything 205 in stock. Takes 7 days to get anything close to stock spec, and one of my rear tyre has 2 bloody nail in it, and the other one is all bald.
So my question, is it ok with the specs I chose? I'm been driving it, seems fine to me.
Quote from: "simontan75"I'm been driving it, seems fine to me.
Yes, you can carry groceries back to home with it s;) ;) s;)

Not something I would prefer. But then I guess I will make do. But at least it will get me back from the groccery! (http://community.the-underdogs.org/smiley/happy/biggrin.gif)
don't do it. unless you happy to pootle along at 30mph, that is going to be a dangerous combo.
if you must do it whay have a 55 profile on teh front and a 50 on teh back?

Already got them. What do u suggest? Swop the 55 to the rear and 50 to the front maybe?
I was rather thinking why buy the 55 at all.
would have been better if you'd asked befiore you bought them though s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Just ordered T1-Rs from Mytyres.co.uk. 195/55/15 for the front and 225/40/16 for the rear.
£171.60 delivered.
Just got to see how long they take to deliver now.
Jason
should have been 195/50/15 for teh front
Typo, it was 195/50 R15
Made me panic though s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
Tyres just fitted by my local garage. Cost of £44 which included repairing a puncture in one of the tyres coming off.
Overall price for T1-Rs and fitting - £215.60.
Quite happy with that.

I, too, was looking for the original thread a few days ago to no avail.
I found this though: m http://www.mr2roc.org/subdreamer/index. ... ticleid=22 (http://www.mr2roc.org/subdreamer/index.php?categoryid=9&p2_articleid=22) m
