Tyre Talk

I'm planning to get some new rubbers and its a matter of price when it comes to most decisions about getting a good set of tyres..i have come up with two options..first the Toyo T1R and the second but more expensive Toyo R1R..lets see which is more bang for the buck :)

Toyo T1R




The Proxes T1-R is the tyre of choice for all driving enthusiasts. Boasting a unique performance compound and tread pattern, the T1R surpasses all previous benchmarks in wet and dry handling. The v-shaped grooves efficiently pump water away, allowing the rubber to grip the tarmac. Bound by circumferential groove, turn-in is razor sharp whilst still allowing the tyre to run quieter and last longer. Practical and pleasing to the eye! The Proxes T1-R is available in a huge range of popular sizes, from 14” right up to a staggering 21”.
