I got these as a trial against rainsport 3s. indo 50miles a day but sometimes track the car so rainsports were my go to tire. I used to love the early t1r but they seemed to get worse a few years later, maybe a change of production compound? or facility? Any way I love the TR1, budget priced but high midrange performance, grip is awesome in the dry and I have no problems in the wet or standing water, obviously I'm driving within the limits but they do inspire a bit of confidence in the wet, they also look similar to rainsports..... I ran these for a full day at blyton also, no issues on a dry track there, kept the pressure in check and suffered no delaminating or extreme wear. Kept up with everything fine and handled really well. I will buy more of these for sure. The only thing I'd actually swap them out for would be some super sticky road slicks tbh. Car is a light tuned twingo with about 150bhp and 150lbft.

I replaced my Hankook ventus prime 3 with these Toyo tires. Dry performance is much better, less understeering, more direct handling, maybe a bit better braking. However, the wet performance is worse, especially during aquaplaning, when the car felt more unstable, compared to the Hankook.

Great tire at the price, replaced Yokohama Advan tires all round, so far so good. Really good in wet and brilliant in the dry!

This tire is difficult to judge on comfort as I ran lowering springs, but I wouldn't say they were in comfortable. When I first purchased some alloy wheels, a had 4 different tires, tread depths you name it. They were poor. Footing a set of proxes t1r's literally transformed the car. Dry grip was unbelievable, car cornered like a house fly. I later fitted some to a Mégane and that was the same, gave me so much confidence to through a car into a bend and it would hold. Really stable at high speeds as well from the stiffer side walls.
