Toyo TR-1's or Rainsport 2's ?

[Mango_Wes]

What do you guy's think?

Will be used on my VTS, for fast road, maybe the odd track!

[L20VTS]

Personally prefer Eagle F1s but have had Toyo's and they were alright tbh, bit squeely at times but gripped well.

[AndySAXO]

Rainsport 2 very good all round tyre. I use both Rainsports win hands down.

[mlawlan69]

just gone from toyo's to rainsport 2's all round.

fuck me what a difference, just grips and grips dry or wet.

rainsports all the way..

;) Best place to buy them? Camskill are doing them for about £51 a corner

[mlawlan69]

i got mine from tire trader in 195/45/15 delivered fitted and balanced for £270.

I think i paid a bit much however as they sent 16's originally but after i checked again it was £262

but i couldnt be arsed to argue for 8 quid lol.

[m4tt274]

what company makes the rainsports?

Uniroyal :)

[m4tt274]

ahh just checking they were the ones we were on about.
ive got a set on my current vtr, it previously has t1rs on funnily enough.
Both excellent tbf! i did a track day with the uniroyals on and in the wet they were excellent, i had more grip than most, but after one lap in the dry they were to hot. arguably understandable, they are a rain tire.
T1Rs lasted 15k so far the rain sports are about half life at 10K
recommend both.

How about Hankook Evo V12's? They are pretty damn good! ;)

[Prickle]

I use RS2's..

[welshpug]

fuck toyo's, I'd try Michelin falken kumho or uniroyal, not sure Avon do anything decent in that size,

+1
Toyo tr1's are usless wet or dry!!!

[DanTvts]

Rainsport 2's for me, My T1R's didnt feel confidence inspiring at all, and wore pretty damn quickly!

[wadoryu]

My mate hates his tr1s
Conti premium contact 2 for a road car.

[JonnoC]

i used to have t1r's on my old fiesta and i will never be using them again

ive had yoko s drives, yoko parad spec 2, conti contact sports and they are all by far a lot better than the toyos

i was looking into either uniroyal rainsport 2's or maxxis maz1's for the saxo though

[Assenracing]

Just back from a trackday at oulton park and my saxo is fitted with T1R's and after two laps it was like driving on marbles.

[Oli_K]

Out of the two id go for the Rainsport 2's for pretty solid all rounder.

I found the Toyo Proxes were terrible in the wet.

Personally i only ever get Eagle f1's.

[Mochachino]

If you had asked this question 4 years ago everyone would be saying T1Rs, sheep!

[welshpug]

erm, nope, they were crap 4 years ago.

[Mochachino]

erm, nope, they were crap 4 years ago.

erm yes? I didnt say they were good 4 years ago, they were shit then too. Was you on saxp 4 years ago to see everyone saying T1Rs were good when they hadnt tried anything else and followed other people saying they were good too?

This!!

[rick_VTR]

toyos win hands down at £31 a corner for 195 50 15

and mine get some abuse on my rally car down the lanes!

[Prickle]

Tbh i went for them as theyre literally the first decent set of tyres ive owned lol.

rest ive had have been budgets. I nearly went for T1-1r's though. I read they wear quicker aswell so that put me off

[rick_VTR]

the fact they wear quicker than similar tyres doesnt really bother me as the front tyres are shredded after a few weeks of abuse.

[welshpug]

toyo is budget lol

[Prickle]

ah well i have no idea lol.. took me all my time to decide on the RS2's

:/

[rick_VTR]

toyo is budget lol

how is toyo budget? lol

dont you mean the T1r is toyos budget range?

and i would class them as more of a premium middle of the road sort of tyre over the likes of shit budget tyres like nankang ns-2 and the likes.

[bytor]

Toyo's were fine when you could get them £28 a corner + fitting, decent enough in the dry and didn't matter if you killed them.

Eagle's have always been my choice.

Cheers

I remember that.

Instantly regretted it when I put them on my VTR.

Were proper shite.

[SaxoVTRben]

im running rs2's all round and wouldnt change, very good tyres for the price

[welshpug]

PE2's are great wet or dry, also last a long time, softer sidewalls than some, but stiffer than Parada and Toyo.

the price is far outweighed by longevity and performance.
