Though not on an MR2 s:(

As I say in the post above, seem grippy and predictable (in the dry at least, not tried them wet) but soft and therefore seem to wear fast.

Had mine on for 10 days now (T1R's) Seem to be fine. Hard pushed at present to tell any difference from my previously fitted T1S's. There again, the weather has been so c**p anyway.

Just had a puncture on the front passenger side and need a new tyre.

At the moment i have 195/45/16 all the way around.

I don't really want to put any old tyre on it so was thinking of getting 2 new toyo proxes (205/45/16) for the back and then put toyos on the front after christmas.

Will this get me close to the stock rolling radius?

wheel is 16 x 6.5

markiii · October 25, 2004, 15:06

205/45/16 is pretty close to 205/50/15 your stock radius. I'd be happy with it.

I wouldn't mix those tyre brands though, especially with how cheap proxies are.

Cheers mark!

The garage that is supplying said it's ok to mix in pairs but not indvidual. However, a full set is better. The other 3 have lots of tread on them so i will keep them for a little longer.

The tyres are the T1S. Have the T1Rs replaced them or just been added to the range?

Can you mix the T1S with the T1R?

I don't really want to buy the t1s now to find i can't replace them at a later date!

AFAIK, T1-R will replace T1-S, but I'm sure you can get both for a while.

Thanks Tem, Your correct!

Just been told the T1-R is replacing the T1-S. I've just cancelled the order for T1-S and gone with the T1-R.

does the guy at your garage drive a 2? or any mid enfgine performance car for that matter?

seriously, on most run of teh mill cars I'd agree with him. On this one, I'd say it's a serious no no, and can verge on teh dangerous.

I wouldn't have gone 195 all round, but at least with teh same tyre model it's predictable.

mix models/brands and it is going to bite you.

Long time reader, first time poster....

I am having real problems finding options for the 2003 model...

I appear to have a choice of Yoko or Brdgestone and that is it for the 215/45/16 replacements that I need after months of roundabout hunting s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Covered in many threads elsewhere s;)

s;) But - most people switch sizes to 205/50R16 for the rear on the 2003 it seems - Toyo T1-S and T1-R are both available in that size. (Or you could go for 225/45R16 - either will fit the 6.5" rear rim, 205/50 probably retains a closer to stock handling characteristic however)

markiii · October 28, 2004, 13:05

2003 rear rim is 16"x7 (not 6.5) best fit from teh toyo range is 225/40/16

Anonymous · October 28, 2004, 13:50

wouldn't 225's be too wide for the rear, upsetting the balance a little?

Two's Company · October 28, 2004, 14:36

Is there any reason not to use 225/45/16 on the rear?

markiii · October 28, 2004, 16:07

well if you have teh 16" rears your stock tyre sizes are

185/55/15 front
215/45/16 rear

so if you use 225/40/16 on the rear, use 195/50/15 on teh front to retain the 30mm split.

simple.

225 is the largest you really want on a 7" rim, but many are using it as above quite happily

Actually 03+ models have 185/55 at front,,,

I personally am getting new S03's soon with 195/55 at front and 225/45 at back to keep upcoming PE turbo behaving nicely :-) :-) :-)

markiii · October 28, 2004, 16:48

your right, twas a typo, I've edited it.

Wouldn't you be better with 195/50x15 and 225/40x16, to keep the rolling radius closer to stock?

Just ordered a new set from these guys. Very helpful, they took the order over the phone and called me back a few minutes later when my card rejected (wrong address, it has not moved with me yet!). Mentioned membership here as I had forgotten first time and got a bit of a discount as well!

Great service and brilliant price. Totally recomend them.

On a side note - the T1-Rs are nice and light (as the bloke fitted commented on) and compared to the stock Yoko's the car feels so much faster when accelerating s:D
