Ive seen some toyo proxes t1,s for £39.00 each, are they good tyres? pete

 

What do you want to do with the car?

 

Mainly road mate, occasional track day its a 2.1zvh escort van im building

 

Its the T1S,S im looking at

 

r888's

 

toyo t1's are crap imo and even worse in the wet lol
a good budget tyre but thats all

 

I'd say the good old Toyo R888 then mate

They are like a soft/medium compound cut slick, aimed more at trackdays and fast road etc

 

I'd go with something a bit more sticky.. toyo also do t1-r's, yokohama parada's which are quite cheap or for something really sticky toyo R888's

 

R888 it will be then! best size for 6x15" wheels? 205,s? pete

 

Yoko Pradas imo! though if its more track focused and u can afford to replace often R888's A05R etc

 

Don't forget though if your £39 was a 'budget' then you won't like the R888's at circa £320 for 4

 

r 888's.........or other road legal slicks

 

Best site to get R888,S?

Cheers gus!

 

I'd go with the 888s for your usage as well - just as an aside though, there is a big tyre test in EVO mag this month - test car is a Mk5 Golf Gti - fwd , 200bhp ....perhaps pertinent to your enquiry esp for the road use aspect

 

i found the t1-r to be good in the dry but shit in the wet and have just went to dunlop sp9000's which seem much better wet or dry.

 

What about Dunlop d02's i think they are...

Im thinking of these next anyone used these

 

Now im confused Maybe i should start a poll

 

888's

I managed a 9.10 round the ring in a Astra that was running them.

Amazed me how bloody good they are
