What Is Every One Running On?

[siu16]

Hi, I just wanted to know what tires everyone is running on and which you would recommend? Mine are due for replacement very soon and want some high performance tires but there is so much choice, Ive heard good things about the Toyo T1-S doe. Help required!

[Jones~32]

Currently on Kumho KH11, good in the dry, but not very good in the wet

I'll be after tyres in a few months too, im looking at either Marangoni or Toyo T1-R

[siu16]

My mates running on kumho's aswel, very good price, not too sure which model his on it is v-grooved like toyo T1-S, but the grip is very good. I've also looked into the T1-R they are still very new, Im looking at getting a set of Yokohama's or Falken's!

[hoho15]

im using all falkens but dont really notice how they are there not bad in the wet and have lasted me quite long

195/50 Toyo T1s on my 15s and 205/40 Toyo T1s on my 17s. best tyres i have ever had, excellent in the dry and even better in the wet. highly recommended. also have 4 different tyres on the original 14s, one of which is a genuine Kwik-Fit branded tyre, totally useless in the wet and the dry!! the previous owner really really cared obviously.......

haha 4 different brand tyres? Must of been quite interesting in the wet? I've just been online and reading some reviews on the T1-S, A few people have commented on the tyre wear being very poor. Can you confirm this? Also 195/50 R15 or 195/45 R15, which would you recommend?

Hi, which yoko's you running on?

[andy_twincams]

S306 cant rember the sizes when their worn down yokos are going again

[Spuffington]

Pirelli PZero Assimetrico's and they're great!

Used to run Goodyear Eagle F1's - great in wet and dry, but wear quite quickly!

[silvasurfa]

Continentals here, not cheap but very good!!!

[big_bad_ant]

im on toyo proxes T1-R 205/16/40

great in dry and wet and for the price its awsome. only paid £33 for each wheel at a place called Elite. it last very long!

highly recommended!!

[man-bing]

Currently using Goodyear Hydragrips, excellent in wet/dry, far better than the Dunlops that were on the car from new, ok in dry, wheel-spins and slides in wet (scary :censor: )!!!

They have worn faster than i though, but then i do drive bit mad at the best of times

Hi ant, do the T1-R's handle very differently to the T1-S? how is the wear? £33 each is a good deal, do you have the website for elite? anyone tried BF Goodrich tires??

[G6-R]

Continental SportContact 2 215-40-17

[knowlson]

Eagle F1's at the front and some weird cheap tyres at the back

[vanillaice]

Eagle F1's DS-2's all round. Much quieter than the cheap tyres I had on before. Grip quite well too! Just waiting for the summer to really test them.

HI MATE

I HAD AN AVENSIS AND I HAVE TRIED A FEW TYRES, TOYO PROXIS, FALKEN FK451, NANKANGS AND BF GOODRIDGE. HAVE TO SAY OUT OF ALL OF THEM I PREFERED THE BF'S. I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2003 COROLLA RUNNING ON 215/35/18'S ON FALKENS AGAIN. WHEN THE TIME COMES I WILL DEFFINENTLY GO FOR ANOTHER SET OF BF'S. GOOD WEAR AND GOOD GRIP IN WET AND DRY CONDITIONS, CANT ASK MORE THAN THAT. HOPE THIS HELPS

[bigshark]

running on hanncooks at the mo, they are average all around tyres i reckon, very grippy on dry roads. They came with the rims i got and i wouldnt go for them again, gonna change mine to Pirelli tho sometime in d next few months!!

[Joebloggs]

I got Bridgestone Potenza on mine, brilliant in dry and wet. Alot better than what was already on there, i think they were Dunlop

Yo Sui! the T1-R's handles just as well or even better on dry conditions than the old T1-S but as for wet roads, the T1-R is far better IMO as it has two more lines going round the tyre for the wetness to escape.

[philcook]

anyone tried BF Goodrich tires??

I got BF Goodrich Profilers, pretty good in dry and wet, but do seem to be wearing had 4 months and looking like will only do few more? But I have done 1 track day and a Autosolo in them so have hard life got another track day in Feb see what like after then. Got them on std 14" in rims 185 60s

I'm thinking of getting Toyos next?

[european_bob]

Just ordered a new set of tires. Going for Dunlop Direzza DZ101 195/45 R15! Thought they look interesting and got them for good price. Will write a review about the tires once i fit them. I think this post was very informative, especially for those who don't know what tires to go for (me)! Thanks ppl! I think there should be a permanent thread about tires where we can update regularly! What do you guys think? Admin?.........
