Top quality tyre

Simply put, it's the best looking and performing tyre for its worth. I fitted it for both my cars, both front and back. One is for weekend touge drive another for a spirited daily town drive. Fantastic dry grip and great wet grip. Feels confident.

Overall a very good tyre for a daily driver that likes to use the loud pedal. Very good grip in the dry and I really did push it around some country roads. Wet grip isn’t something to shout about but also isn’t something to complain about. Quite an easy tyre to predict and gives good road feedback. One thing to note and I may have just been unlucky in the two years i’ve had my car i’ve only ever had 2 punctures and they’ve both been on these tyres . (Previous tyres were very hard compound budgets where the Toyos are quite a soft compound in comparison which could make them easier to puncture). Would definitely purchase them again as for around £60 a tyre for my size is a very good deal for the performance they deliver.

Comming from Sava Intensa HP i got when i bought new VTS rims at 70% wear i can say it's a big upgrade. The Sava were ok on the dry but terrible on the wet and impossible to wear down as they were so hard. So after 2 seasons i had enough and bought 4 new Toyo TR1 for 210€ (very cheap) because they were the sportier tyre in my size (against Rainsport 5) and i am very pleased with them. The dry grip feel is very good even if we are clearly not in the same league as UHP tyres like michelin PS4. The wet grip is pretty good but it's clearly a tire made to perform the best in the dry. The soft compound was disturbing at first as it was inducing a bit of a delay when steering and reducing a little bit the feel (even if there isn't much feel to start with because of the car settings) but after some times i got the confidence to "throw" the car in the corners thanks to the tyre being very progressive. On this note i do not go on track with the car (90hp diesel please T.T) but i feel that with the softness of the compound it will overheat pretty fast. You can have some early sign of this on long mountain roads when driving hard in the summer. For noise i'd say it's okay but i doesn't matter to me so i did not pay attention. Fuel consumption is worse than the Sava (they were rock hard so no surprise there) by 0,4l/100km it felt a little draggy at first but that's a price i'm willing to pay to be able to take corners. And about the wear after 1 season (50 hard driving mountain roads + some calm highway and country roads) they wore down 20-25% at the front (especially the sides) and 5-10% at the rear.

I used this tyre as a wet option at Silverstone in the 6 hour Birkett Relay on a clio 182 race car. Having ended up running it in both dry and wet conditions during the race, I thought I'd give my opinion. In the dry I found the tyre just lacked grip all round and easily overheated when pushed hard. On the clio the balance was severe understeer, which was a surprise as ut is setup to oversteer. This made it impossible to carry good speed especially through the higher speed corners. Braking was acceptable. In the wet they were much better and the wetter it got, the better they performed, with the balance of the car moving from understeer to very nicely balanced. They gave alot of lateral grip and had good progressive brake away on the limit. Wet braking was fantastic and was the best feature of this tyre in my opinion. It allowed me to really push hard and late in the brakes. I'd recommend this tyre for someone on a budget wanting a good all round road tyre. However, if your looking for a sporty, dry weather performance tyre, especially for track use I'd sgeer clear.

I wasn't going to buy these tyres until someone on a club forum said they were brilliant, sadly this is not the case. They are not as good as the T1R's at all, when cornering at any speed I feel the back end moving about due to the soft sidewall. I've increased the air pressure but still feel it squirm around. It is now terrible to drive and I have paid £300 for the priviledge :-( They maybe good for a front engined car but sadly not for mid engined.

Since these are really cheap tyres, I didn't expect much, but I was stunned. They perform absolutely amazing on dry roads, pushed them hard on mountain roads, never lost grip. As per wet, never pushed them on wet, but also didn't lose grip once. Amazing tyre for the price. Will buy again if Toyo doesn't make something newer/better in the same range.

Running the tires on a Mk2 miata with the 1.6 and cheap coilovers i can tell that the dry grip is decent, although nothing too special compared to the earlier T1R and Nankang NS-2R. The Nankangs definetly grip better in the Dry. Wet grip is another story though, it is VERY good in my experience. i can push very hard and the tires are pretty predictable, when it gets slippy. Road feedback is okay, though not great, given that the sidewall is not as stiff as some UHP tires and the compound itself is pretty soft. i mostly drive b-roads and push the card very hard on those. They are very progressive at the limit, you can judge when they are loosing grip really well and slides of throttle are very controllable. Drifts on power in the dry is difficult to judge for my car and 110 HP so im gonna leave it at that. For the price i can recommend them a lot if you are looking for a daily driver that gets also driven in the wet and even works well while driving relatively hard.

Dry grip is good, wet grip is decent, haven't been able to test them too much in the rain. They grip good, slightly above the Yokohama S.Drives I had prior, and doesn't seem to overheat as quickly as the Yokos. However, they look like they are not as wide as the Yokos, they have a more rounded tread pattern, and they are HORRIBLE at feedback and on driver inputs. My car felt like a gokart when it had the Yokos, even after they were 3 years old with only half of its tread left due to excessive camber, and now it feels like a small bus. The steering is vague, really, really vague, inputs take a fair while until the car reacts. These tyres are good in the sense of dry grip, but they just aren't confidence inspiring, seeing as you can't really tell how the car is going to react, and that it takes a lot of time until the car reacts to your input. They are cheap, and for easy going to medium-fast driving I would recommend them, but for fast driving, I seriously can't. I regret buying these tyres

toyota corolla g6 160hp blacktop. Greece country. more warm weather and less rain. This tire is unbelievable on the dry road, in braking and in corners, after a lot of pressure in turns it continues to be absolute, it needs heating about 10 to 15 kilometers after that it has excellent grip and is close to semislick .. the same tire has been tested in seat ibiza cupra 300hp and audi s3 420hp with perfect response results. on the wet road it is fair for its price, anyway on the wet you have to be more careful. I would definitely put it on again next time.

My size is very odd in Malaysia so theres little to no performance tyres. I have been on almost 3 sets of ATR Sport. THose things are terrible at wet but great at dry, before 50% used at least. TR1 is great at wet, previously with the same wet road I would just glide lol. TR1 managed to grip and slow me down, impressive. They are both a few bucks different only. I drive a Proton, nothing in the list haha

Replaced my original tyres(goodyear gt3) had day and night performance difference. Tyres are quite noisy though. Sharp corners are grippy and response time increase. Rainy weather still not so confident as hitting deep puddles can cause abit of sway.
