well, what can I say?
Mixed BAG!
In the cold and wet, useless.
In wet when tires are at operating temp, very good.
dry, very good, too cold, very bad, too hot, rather bad.
however I always feel it, but really nervous in the wet in the autumn as I live in Norway where it gets rather cold.
and I got 300++ wheel horsepower.
These tires must be perfect a bit further south for those who only do spirited driving a very limited amount of time once they do push their car a bit.
Cannot fault them on some of the fun bits to and back from work, but that's where their performance stops.
wear have been very good!

so rated for what they are, and they are not a all out performance tire, for us who wants alot of fun, go elsewhere :)

Really don't get what all the hype is about. they are dreadful tires! Average in the dry and scary in the wet. Had them on for just under 5000 miles and have had enough of them.

Absolutely shocking tires in the wet, they just lose traction wayyyy to easily. Not too bad in the dry, would avoid like the plague in future. Most of the £20 specials I've had on some of my cars have inspired more confidence in bad weather conditions.

Perhaps good for drifters?!

came already fitted to my westfield when i bought it (2900 miles )
just changed them at 17200 miles and they still had some way to go
before they really needed to be changed.
good grip in both wet & dry conditions, although i back off a bit in the wet!!

lets see if the new toyo R1R,s are as good as i have been told

I have to say I cannot believe TOYO discontinued this tire. For the money it is excellent. Perfect feel and balance and awesome dry grip. Wet grip is also very good but would be dependant on the type of car you have.

Mine is pretty torquey but on say a NA car that produces peak torque higher you will probably find these more suitable.

Wear is very good, feel through the steering wheel excellent and gorgeous tread pattern. Bring them back!!

Vastly better tire that replaced it(T1R).
All in all a very safe predictable tire, that won't catch you out, though takes a good few miles(500) before they grip thier best, very quiet tire too, had the T1R afterwards, which was a flop in my opinion, bring back the S model

Wear rate is far too high.
Beyond that, A good and mostly underrated performance tire. Though leaves me feeling like there's more can be had maybe, and so will be trying something else next time....but only out of curiosity.

Takes forever to run the tires in. About 100 miles of atrociously low grip levels. Then suddenly, the tire came into it's own.

Managed the journey to and from the nurburgring. And 3 quick laps of it, with very little complaint. Lots of feedback. And you really know when they were going to let go.

weak side walls.

Nice rim protection for alloys.

You'll have to drive recklessly for these to let you down wet or dry. High degree of confidence. Very good traction. Exceptional wear/performance tire for very reasonable price.

Fairly average tire but fairly cheap so no real surprise!

Get what you pay for I guess.
