Hi, welcome along. This thread may be very useful to you l viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3313 (http://www.mr2roc.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3313) l
When you get a moment , do have a good browse around the forum, as there may be all sorts of answers waiting on here to answer questions you haven't even thought of yet. s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Do hold on tightly to your wallet though, as these ideas invariably lead to thinning of bank balance. s:) :) s:)
Personally,Toyo Poxie T1R's all round.
Make sure you don't mix and match brands and always replace both tyres on an axle at the same time. Its also worth getting a 4-wheel alignment done. A sorted alignment transformed the handling of my car in the wet. I drove around like a granny before and still had some uncomfortable wobbles.

Welcome Rosie.
Yes, a good read (especially the stickies at the top of each forum) will give you a lot of information. Unfortunately it does sometime take a substantial amount of time to sort out the wheat from the chaff in a search - but that can be very useful tool.
Look forward to hearing more from you, and by the way, useful to put your location / county, whatever in your profile - members are more than happy to travel a few miles to help another if required.
Oh, by the way, I'm a Toyo TR1 man as well. Superbed in wet and dry as far as I am concerned.
check out 'camskill' for best prices on Toyo T1-R, just got a new rear set myself s:D :D s:D

Definate to T1 R's had 2 fitted on my 2 today rears at £64 each via Blackcircles, worked out the milage on these at 29K the fronts still have 3-4 mm so will change them in a couple of months, yep should do the 4 but didnt have another £100 odd handy. A good tyre without question.
