Default All round tyre choice? Advice wanted

hi guys,

In the next few weeks i will be buying a set of tyres to sit on my 15' softlines to go on my mk4 escort.
Due to driving round on toyo t1-r's on the porsches at work im tempted to buy at set for my softlines as they seem pretty decent and heard loads of good reviews on them.

Would anyone agree with those being a good option ?

yoky prada spec 2 was the best tyre I've come accross, loads andorra of grip but noisy and not so good wear rate, I'd say IMO it was idly followed by the proxy tr1 I found that a good tyre! really grippy bit noisier can't say on the wear rate, the r888 are ment to be a very good choice aswell
