Toyo R1R Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 27 reviews

The Toyo R1R receives very favorable owner reviews, with dry and wet grip the clearest shared strengths. Handling, steering feedback and predictable breakaway also draw substantially more praise than criticism. Heat resistance is the main recurring limitation, with around one in five reviews describing overheating during sustained hard or track use. Tread-life opinions are more mixed than grip verdicts, while a smaller group finds the tire noisy. Mid-life and end-of-life reports include continued road confidence, but one later-life account describes less predictable wet behavior near the wear bars, so the strong grip reports do not establish unchanged performance throughout its life.

Dry grip from these tires is amazing, best dry gripping tire I've had yet. The car corners like it is on rails. I can definitely carry a lot more spped in to corners now with plenty of confidence. (Previously had Goodyear F1, F1 Aysemmetric, ContiSportContact 2, Vredestien Ultrac, Ultrac Sessanta, Toyo T1-S and T1-R).

The sidewalls are very stiff so you will loose some comfort, but not much and I probably notice it more in the Europa given its stiff suspension setup.

Not had them long enough to comment on them about ware but given the grip i'm getting from them I'm not too fussed.

Great all-round tires, much better than the R888s in the wet. Only downfall is they can be overheated on long tracks on hot days, but they remained progressive and still great fun. Drove over 400 miles to the Nurburgring with them and the injection mouldings hadn't even worn off of them. Only thing that I wouldn't buy them for would be the getting too hot problem.
