8vMatt 1 Posted September 2, 2012 Are these any good when it gets to wet or cold weather? Or are they just a good sticky dry tyre? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 9 Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) I was running these on the 8v before I replaced the wheels with 16 inchers. They weren't bad at all. The steering was vague (to say the least) due to worn parts, but that aside I found them to be a very good compromise between all round grip and durability. I would certainly have them again. Especially at that price. Uniroyal rainsport 2 at £35 get good reviews and Kumho KH31 at £39 are very good. I run KH31 on the daily and KU31 on the VR6. can't fault them. Hooray for Camskill.

bmwcompact 10 Posted September 2, 2012 I think someone has made a mistake with the price (probably should be 49 not 29). Look at their prices for all other variants of Toyo Proxe T1R15'' tyres. The last time I took advantage of such a 'good offer' I had several weeks of emails trying to get me to pay the proper price, non delivery, and after about 3 weeks finally had my credit card refunded. You may get lucky but if lots of people suddenly order they'll soon spot the mistake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted September 2, 2012 i was about to say similar to James, the Toyo's are alright and certainly better than a standard ditchfinder for the money. Uniroyals would be a much better choice for an extra £20 I reckon. I'm tempted to pick up a spare set at that price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr lobitos 0 Posted September 2, 2012 excellent price if that's fitted, i could do them @ £28.20 inc vat delivered Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete 0 Posted September 2, 2012 I was running those in my vx220 and they were fine, upgraded to R1R for track work :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guildmage 11 Posted September 2, 2012 Hmm, I need to get two front tyres as it was outlined on my MOT yesterday. Wanted to buy 2x Continental Premium 2's for around £135 (fitted) but if I can get for the same price all 4 tyres (Toyo's), would that not be a better way of tackling my wheels? If so I will be ordering them later on today propably... just can't get my head round tyres to be honest. I use my Corrado as a full daily driver.. commute to work, and also work related... so I do drive quite a lot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stonejag 10 Posted September 2, 2012 excellent price if that's fitted, i could do them @ £28.20 inc vat delivered Out of interest how much would you do Proxes T1Rs in 195/45/16 for? Just ordered a couple at £70ea fitted (with tracking and alignment done) but nice to keep it in the family where possible :) Hmm, I need to get two front tyres as it was outlined on my MOT yesterday.

I've found the T1Rs to be excellent compared to the boat-anchors that were on there before (215/40/17s! Urgh) and mine's a daily. Only got three months out of the last one due to tracking problems though :( Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr lobitos 0 Posted September 3, 2012 can't believe the tracking is included in that price, could do them @ £50.71 inc vat plus £5 forum donation, cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 3, 2012 Are these any good when it gets to wet or cold weather? Or are they just a good sticky dry tyre? Crap in the wet. If wet weather performance concerns you then avoid them! And I can give a thumbs up for dealing with mr.lobitos - he sorted me out with some Uniroyal Rainsport2's a few weeks back at a great price and with prompt postage.

I use my Corrado as a full daily driver.. commute to work, and also work related... so I do drive quite a lot. I've run both on the Corrado, and also run the Toyos on a MK2 Golf. The Toyos are a good middle-of-the-range tyre - not earth shattering but they do a decent job. The Contis are in a different class though. They even improved the ride, probably as the Premiums have a relatively soft side wall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 3, 2012 I'm thinking of putting the same Uniroyals on my daily, how are you finding them Jim? Ian. I think Rainsport2's are some of the best all round tyres you can get for the money. I've had Rainsports on two of my Corrado's over the years and they're just a great package and well priced. Wet weather performance on them is really impressive even in heavy rain. I'd happily recommend them to anyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guildmage 11 Posted September 3, 2012 So after a bit of research and a lot of feedback from you guys decided to go with Uniroyals RainSport 2. Toyos, seemed very good on price, but rang two different tyre places and both said they are bad when it's wet! Which is strange as advert for them describe them as very good when wet... anyhow I've gone for Uniroyals and the time will tell. thanks for help.

Cheers Jim, Had a feeling that was the case, hence asking. What sort of money are Uniroyals then guys? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guildmage 11 Posted September 4, 2012 Hmm I paid £37 for tyre alone but then plus fitting, new valve, balancing itp... it was £60 per wheel :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
