Garbage tyre and I rue the day I listened to people who said they were good. They are cheap for a reason.

bout time we heard the truth. I do not understand how they are rated so well, oh probably because they are half the price of a CS3/5 or any top performing tyre.

Quoting these posts for page 5 because I don't want anyone to ever make the same mistake I have done with these Toyo T1CRAP

has the tyre changed at all in the 10 years+ that it has been out?

Just had a couple of part worn T1-Rs put on the back of the mx5 for a giggle. I'll go for a drive later and see just how good/bad these really are.

Apparently the standard wheel size for my mk1.5 Focus is 195/60/r15, however the current tyres are all 195/55/r15. PremiumContact 5s in 195/50/r15 are much cheaper on mytyres but I'm unsure if they will actually fit on the rim properly?

I've already used the tyre calculator and it says there is roughly a 6% difference between 195/60 and 195/50 but I'm just wondering how signifacnt it will actually be?

Going down 2 profile sizes is too much, it will look silly small and you will have an enormous arch gap.

To be fair, they are not awful, they are just not good, and the frustration comes from people claiming they are a brilliant tyre when they are awful in comparison to decent rubber.

I got suckered in but then I am not ashamed to admit that the are rubbish and regret it.

 

[Matt82]

But is anyone aware of them being updated at all in all the years they've been out?

In Eagle F1's I could drive, very comfortably, on the limit (well, what I felt was my limit) with no issues. That limit is severely reduced on these naff Toyo things

Fair comments - I bought them because they were cheap, I wasn't looking for amazing tyres and well I was hoping for a little slip n' slide so I could enjoy my mx at low speeds in wet weather.

I paid £40 fitted for them with 5.5mm tread so if they really are terrible it's not a massive loss.

Well have to report these don't feel all too shabby on the rear of the car. They're definitely better than the illegal linglongs I had on before. Predictably they are not as good as contisportcontacts etc. but they are not as bad as I was expecting from the reviews.

Pound for pound they seem very good value for money, although if I were looking for proper performance I'd most likely overlook them.

 

[bledd]

I wouldn't say they're a terrible tyre, they're just not a performance tyre..

Never lost grip when I had them, just jelly sidewall when pushing them, which felt terrible! They came with my current car
