proxes 4's are quite good, can't compare them to t1r's but i was happy for day to day use.

T1S are vastly better than T1R, if you can get them.
What size is it, recently moved onto VREDESTEIN SPORTRAC 3, rather than crappy eagle F1's, massive improvement.

Agree with Tabs - T1S are far better than the newer T1R - but discontinued so harder and harder to find.

PS: If anyone has any in half decent condition, 205/40/17 , PM me!!!!

T1R for "normal" driving and not too bad on a wet track either although they lack to the required open edge for the really damp stuff.
Dry trackday will hammer them in no time at all though.

888 for driving hard in the dry



So depends on what you use it for really.
