franchise 1 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Ok guys and gals, just sorting out some rims at the mo and am stuck for tyres.I usually plump for the trusty T1-Rs, had Yokos in the past too but they wore way too quickly and were dangerous in the wet. Tempted by the parada spec2s, but again I've heard bad things in the wet.What you kids running?I'm going for a 15x8 rim looking at 205/50s or maybe even 195/50s if the 205s won't squeeze under the arch.

jims13 6 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 t1-r's and i have tried the kuhmo escta's also a very good tyre Link to post Share on other sites
vr6madmike 0 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I find that T1R's seem too go a bit hard after a while, also mine wore very badly on the edges, and if im being really fussy I dont like the way the tread pattern doesnt go all the way to the edge of the tyre instead finishing in the centre section which makes wheels look skinny, Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Ive just lined up some new tyres for my new wheels, was a toss up between T1R's and Uniroyal Rainsport 2, picked the Uni's as they came out abit cheaper and people seem to always give good reviews on them Link to post Share on other sites
franchise 1 Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Cheers guys. I was more than happy to roll on T1s again but have noticed the same thing this time round, centres have loads of tread but the edges have worn like crazy...might have something to do with spirited driving though.

Over = inside wears, Under = outsides wears. check them offen as tyres can loose air quicker than you think. Mine wore down to 1.6 mm even all the way down, toyos are the softest rubber ive had so farN/S always runs down quicker due do roundabouts and its normally the side that spins up first, doesn't take alot for tracking to go out if you drive like a nutterloved my Goodyears tbf Link to post Share on other sites
