Crying Out For Some V Treaded Tyres!

Recommended Posts

My standard TS tyres are about gone at the front so i'm looking to replace them sometime soon. Only i really fancy some with a V shaped tread on them. Anyone got any recommendations for me? The PROXES T1-R looks ok but never heard of the brand!

Had a quick search on the forum but no joy.

toyos are good, i've just had them on my new wheels i'd say go for the toyo t1-r over the t1-s, they should be better as I think they are a slightly harder compound than the t1-s so better for cornering (what I read somewhere before I chose them).

Other than that the goodyear eagle f1 gsd3 are better and may last a bit longer but are more expensive.

Just got 4 proxes T1R for £125 quid delivered!

What size?

That seems a cheap price, £40 a corner for a T Sport :eek:

if you want V tread go for Good year Eagle F1 GS-D2 or D3

Or you could go for BFGoodrich Profiler 2's which is what i'm half way through destroying ATM.

Very even grip and allows me to lift off oversteer perfectly but still with enough control that i know its always going to come back.

i've not had a single moment as yet where the tyres 'let go' they just grip and grip then start to slide with out a massive drop off in the grip level.

A good tyre in my opinion.

Most of the ~MR2 lads use Toyo's... very impressed with them myself as well. :)

Had them on 2 different cars now.

The T1-R have replaced the T1-S and have a different tread pattern and are slightly quieter. :)

I've also had Toyo tyres in the past and I'd recommend them to anyone! :thumbsup:

whoops! proxies are made by toyo then! I'm having a feel silly moment!

Both the toyo's and goodyears look very nice.

Keep it coming!

Mytyres.co.uk is good then? No bad experiences with them?

same here. tried to use them a few times but there site is always well dodgy to oder from. I tried to phone them too but spent 45 minutes spelling out each word i said to the indian woman on the other end before giving up. I just went to the local fitter they would use and they had the tyres in stock at the same price anyway.

D3's dont appear to be available in the right size. Its got to be D2. And the pattern on D3 looks much nicer! doh

BF Goodrich Profilers... sh*t hot tyres. Great all-weather grip and very progressive slip. Much quieter than Dunlops SP9000's too. Iv had T1-R's as well and they were superb in the dry, but not quite as good as the BF's in the wet.

Mate of mine has just got some Vredestien Sportrac 3's on his GTi-6 and they're awesome too. No slippage at-all and super-quiet.

I've got Vredestein Sportrac 2's on mine and they perform great, in both wet and dry conditions.
