Outlawsaffa 1 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hey peeps, It's time for new rubber all round on my vr! I've been doing some reading and the toyo proxe t1-r seem to be a very good option! I'm looking for feed back from anyone that's used this brand before and if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to suggest! She's my weekend car so I want sticky, grippy tyres!

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I would probs go for yoko parada myself. They're a bit poop in the wet as a recall though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 My personal option would be Dunlop sports or Michelin pilots. Not the cheapest I know but why compromise your pride and joys safety and handling for a shite set.Dunlop sport and Michelin pilots stick to the road like dead hedgehogs too.......You'll get quality partworns for 40 pounds a tyre.

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I have some god knows what tyres on my passat b6 tdi estate, wanli I think. The car smokes them in the damp. I have never had such dreadful tyres on a car! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

FRANK VR6 2 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I think the Toyo proxes T1R are better than the Yokohama Prada Spec2.if you want a awsome tyre go for the Yokohama AD08 they come in different compounds.the falkens are not to bad! What do you use it for? Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Toyo T1R are a brilliant tyre but a bit noisy cos of the tread pattern. My brother has some Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric and says they are very good. Link to post Share on other sites
