MIKE W Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Im needing two new front tyres, just had a look on Camskill and they have Toyo Proxes T1R for £56 and the T1S's for £58......My question is, which is better ? Im sure i remember someone telling me to avoid one of them last time i did this post but due to posts being deleted i cant check..... They also have FALKEN ZE512 ZIEX on there for £43 are the Toyo's going to be much better ? Also does anyone know the cheapest place to get tyres from? the best so far is Camskill, as anyone ordered from them, what are they like ? And my last question does anyone in the Manchester area know of somewhere decent to get tyres fitted, i want someone who knows what they are doing and not a chimp who is gonna scuff all the wheel in the process....

white_van_man Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 t1-r are supposed to be better i've heard but i personally prefer the t1-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexico_16v Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 After trying all 3 tyres i have to say the toyo tr1's were the best, the t1's had problems with won edges, hence the new tread pattern of the tr1, the falken 512 has the roll shoulder or the clearance on slammed car's, but don't grip at all, i have found out that yokohama are the way to go with the parada spec 2's the best, but if can't afford that much then get the yoko 539's they are imo the best out of toyo and falken. Good grip (i found that both tread pattarns on the toyo slide out easy) and the falken's where just useless in the wet so i'd go for yokohama prada spec 2's (they are pretty much a cut slick) hope this help's After trying all 3 tyres i have to say the toyo tr1's were the best, the t1's had problems with won edges, hence the new tread pattern of the tr1, the falken 512 has the roll shoulder or the clearance on slammed car's, but don't grip at all, i have found out that yokohama are the way to go with the parada spec 2's the best, but if can't afford that much then get the yoko 539's they are imo the best out of toyo and falken.

Craig855S Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 No experience of the toyos so wont bother guessing randomly I have zeix ze512s on the front of my estate and i regret buying them,they look good,they have a nice shoulder that reduces the chance of scrubbing but in the wet u may aswell have tonka toy plastic tyres on,theyre worse than Pirreli P9000s on 14" steelies. If u can afford em go for a good OEM tyre like contisport contacts. Standard fit on ST170s and many other new cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4TT Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 www.mytyres.co.uk www.blackcircle.co.uk both good sites i like the T1R, the T1S was great in the dry but a bit crap in the wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 the R's are a development of the S to make them better in the wet and have a stiffer shoulder. The S's were my choice due to being half the price of R888's and good enough in the dry for track use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotteh Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 T1-R mike stiffer side wall and last longer S are Shite in comparison, R's perform well for me anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
