Lukey. 381 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I had them and they were alright, they lasted pretty well to, much better than say A539. I did the opposite and when they were worn put T1R Toyos on Link to post Share on other sites
Vince12v 20 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Some people slate the toyo, for their wet weather performance, personally I don't think they're to bad Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 As far as I'm aware they are renowned for their wet handling, that said the Paradas are fine in the wet too. If you get the Paradas you won't be disappointed but you won't be totally amazed. Link to post Share on other sites
Vince12v 20 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I've had paradas before and was extremely impressed, all round, I'm running 17s atm so I don't know how theyed be at that size, as I had 15s before Link to post Share on other sites
sleepymike 15 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Is it me or are toyo t1r's becoming hard to find! Just tried to order some through demon tweeks and they have a 2 month waiting list! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Had Paradas on my mk2 VR, they were awful in the wet, maybe because it was a mk2 with 221bhp, but I wasn't impressed Link to post Share on other sites
matty.vrt 120 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I agree dog poo in the wet, best all round tyre I have found is good year eagle gsd3. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Paradas managed fine for me in the wet for the most part once they got some warmth in them, I would never have bought them though, they came with the car.Eagle F1 GSD3 when brand new have far too much squirm and shuffle, they are better about half worn, which would be about 2000 miles after you bought them, they are good but they don't last 2 minutes, If I didn't mind buying new tyres that often I would always replace with GSD3s, michelin are pretty much not worth the premium they think they can charge.With regard to getting hold of T1Rs I just got a set for the A3 and they had a hard time finding them too, most places said that they aren't making them any more and have been replaced with the T1 Sport, as they now have noise regulations they have all moved to asymmetric designs, directionals are too noisy.My brother has just fitted Vredestien Ultrac Vorti to his and he says they are very good, they look alright too for an asymmetric.
