I'm on S-Drive and had no problems... I don't drive the car too much because i'm away but they are lasting and i'm very happy.

by a mile mate, they dont last that long if you constantly give them some stick

Yes bud, i actually got them for £37... places like kwik fit have them priced over £55 per wheel.
I read up and some people claim they are loud and makes lots of noise, I can't say thats the case, providing you got right tyre pressure in they sound like any tyre :y:

Well the car gets driven on a daily basis, only around my local area, to town and work really.
I occainsanly drive the odd 50 mile trip each weekend if not more.
So would these be ok or not..

Toyo T1-R's are excellent. I've had them on my car for a couple of weeks now tried them in all weather conditions and they're still awesome :y: Paid £167.82 for 2 from http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/

Had them on my old 106 GTi ... easily did 8000 miles. Would have been more but I sold the car.

is there much different with the Toyo Proxes 4RF?
Ferg

I believe the Proxes 4RF is just the newer edition of tyre from Toyo ... since the T1-S is discontinued now ... But could be wrong.
