These tires are so wank in the wet!
my car handles like a dog on laminate flooring!
so my quetion to you, folks of Sax-p, is what's the best tyre to for wet roads, as it rains 99% of the time in england?
I was thinking of Toyo TR-1s. any good in the wet?

The Toyo T1R tyres are recommended to be very good in the wet mate.

lol there not that bad really. Well not so bad in the damp or light rain. There a slightly more sporty compound than some so you do need some heat in them. What size tyres are you using? As in the wet big tyres are a very bad thing.

Toyo's any day of the week for me. Tried the Yoko's on my last set of alloys after previously being on Toyo's and they were absolutely rubbish and certainly wouldnt recommend them.
Needless to say im back on Toyo's again

ive had toyo T1R's and highly recomment them for wet driving.
according to Toyo the tread pattern has been designed to stop aquaplaning.
