Well, ive gone from having contis to Toyos and can say with only having driven 50 miles so far with them, they are 100% better than the contis.

Contis, Never again !!!!!!!

 

[craigyR27]

yes enjoy the toyo's far better

yeah aint been to impressed with em not sure what to get next though my fronts are well shagged was thinking of good year directional tyres, has anyone used theese yet :?:

 

[BlackRat250]

is that you've not been impressed with toyos or contis?

 

[Guest]

contis, i thought they were shat after paying £175 squid for one tyre (after a blowout in one) i told the chap at my local holburn this he seemed amazed and thought they were the best on the market

think he was after commision

 

[BlackRat250]

ha must have been.

The toyos are directional. So far so good with them, not too pricey either.

My other half has got the mich's directional on her pug. Not bad either.

im running goodyear eagle F1's and i think they are the nuts.

Myself and jamie noticed that they use yokohama's on the brands hatch 225's they have there,

 

[BlackRat250]

i was going to get a pair of yokys, b4 the cup alloys came up :lol: :lol:

 

[Guest]

two questions

dont yokies burn up after a week or is that just a myth

Are directional tyres much noisier ,not that i really care just summit the twat said at holburn

 

[BlackRat250]

Yokis do burn quicker, as they're quite soft.

As for noise on the directional tyre, don't know. Can't say ive noticed. Just turn the stereo up :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Guest]

Dave, I'm presuming its a typo mate and you have either T1-s or T1-r Toyo's. I've always used Toyo's and at £241 per pair on the Meggy I dont think you can go wrong. They show all the same Traction, Temperature and Wear ratings as the Goodyear F1's and cost a fraction of the price Wouldnt wipe my arse with Yoko's theyre just to soft for a front wheel drive 225bhp motor thats used on a daily basis.

 

[andy bassett]

are the T1-r the new ones they do as i got 2 fitted on my astra a few weeks ago, great tyres, had the T1-s b4 but think they stopped doing them now.

Ha typing error of course, although i will double check which ones :lol: :lol:

 

[Jimbo]

quick note, dont forget to get your nuts torqued

 

[BlackRat250]

im meeting dean later. Only done 130 down the A43

only joshing

 

[meggerman]

toyo`s are really sticky and grippy. but of course that means half tyre life in my experience on both 172MKII and 172MKII Cup

had federals on the CTR and theyre superb, very cheap, decent life as well. Always had michelins before (RS clio), supremely impressed with them and a lot of the CTR members use them as replacements for teh bridgestones.

I got them all round, they were great on my mondeo in the same size as the meg but i cant get the buggers to grip on the meg. Understeers like a good un. Has anyone tried the sport maxx tyres? Am i right in saying they are bespoke ones on the cup pack?
