I've spent the last couple of days looking for a pair of tyres and its driving me mad. Thought I had it sorted when toyo T1R cam in the size I need 225/40 R16 but then found stu an others had some major issues with them. So then realised a 215/40 would fit found F1's online in the old design thought gr8 damn it load index is too low.
So now I have to start all over again, I need a tyre with a load index of at least 86 (all toyos are 85 btw something I found out today)
so now I may have to get 215/40 eagle F1 with extra load bearing which are nearly £100 each for a normal road tyre
Also for those who have used the Toyo T1 R did you have the ones with strenghtend sidewalls ? seen these on a website somewhere, trying to remember where as I've looked at so many tyre sites now

 

whats so special about the car you are concerned about load index?

Alex

 

to be fair I wasn't concerned about load index until goodyear technical banged on about how important it was

 

just got quoted for a set of eagle F1 215/40 with 86w index £87 each fitted so might have to go with that.
I can officially say do not fit 16 " wheels to your car peeps its a proper pain to get tyres 17" worlds your oyster

 

i pay about that price for 215/40/16 Eagle F1s. <90 anyway.

i got 4 FITTED for 350 recently from Dartford Tyres

 

i thought the issues were with the newer t1-s tyres, always thought the t1-r was good?

 

Just ordered them going to get them put on tomorrow.

Now I can stop thinking about tyres at last
