Toyo tyre's

[nimhbk]

Was thinking of getting some toyo tr1 tyres but at £120 for a set of 4 they seem very budget.

i paid that amount last time for 1 pilot tyre from Michelin

Anyone use them on here

 

[windsoR]

what size? where to?thats cheap

 

[darkyGTI-R]

Sounds too cheap mate i was quoted in Brum £46 per tyre on 15" !

 

[olliecast]

Yeah where are these from. I'm sure they're more than that

 

[gtirx2]

Its about the right price for 195/50/15's,you can also get the yoko parada spec 2's for the same sort of money.
Have a look on ebay.
You can also ring up places like kwik fit etc and quote them internet prices and quite often they will match the price.
This is just for the tyres tho,not a fitted price.

 

[darkyGTI-R]

Like you said the Yokohamas were about the same give or take a couple of quid!

 

[olliecast]

Oooo, I have 195 50 15 so it looks like the old shag pile is getting some new boots!!!

 

[kenan]

I paid £140 last time fitted for the toyo in 195/50/15

Been running them on my last few cars and real happy with them

 

[olliecast]

What's the wear rate of them like kenan.

 

[kenan]

Because my car is a weekend car it’s hard to tell. I'd say its quicker than the Eagle F1's/Mitchs but about on par with Yoko/Falkens I'v had in the past.

One thing is on track they will wear out the edges quicker than other tyres I had.

I run them because for me the offer the best performance/value compromise

I found the Toyo's really good. I had a set of Toyo Proxes last time and in the dry they were very good. They are a fairly soft tyre so don't last quite as long as other tyre's i've used. Thumbs up though overall.

ive just bought 4 toyo proxes 195/50/15

£114 delivered!

i went for the proxes as i wasnt that impressed with the prada's

 

[Tk1]

T1r's are a pretty good tyre i run them on my subaru last year and the pulsar the begining of this year for sprinting the wear rate when on the limit is pretty shocking with massive feathering , i recently spoke to toyo motorsport guy at an event i attended who suggested shaving them down to 5mm because the blocks have a lot of movement when new hence the feathering.
i recently started to use the yoko parada spec2 and i am really impressed even in the wet , wear rate is no where near as bad on the limit and all is good especially how cheap they are
but if your cars being used on the road then either really there both cheapish and offer reasonable performance

 

[darkyGTI-R]

So how much should i be expecting to pay all round then £140 upwards?

 

[vss irvine]

ive just bought 4 toyo proxes 195/50/15

£114 delivered!

plus £20-£30 for fitting

I find the paradas absolutely shite in the wet, personally I prefer toyos, but the best tyres I've had are eagle f1s. Cost more and wear quickly tho!

 

[kenan]

but the best tyres I've had are eagle f1s. Cost more and wear quickly tho!

I would run these as they are better but cost about £50 each where as the toyos are £35

you bought them of me then

 

[Mr GTiR]

That's all Neil does all week as he's too slow to fit tyres to a car :lol:

 

[PobodY]

Does that mean that Neil can do a deal on new tyres? I know I'm flippant about those tyres that got chewed-out when my alignment was all wrong, but I do need to replace them at some point.
