What Tyre and pressures!

[Chris-White]

erm, cos you dont need to be RAGGING it to need good tyres, 

when driving at normal road speeds, its impossible to tell the difference between brand A and brand B of tyres.

until you need to emergency stop. or misjudge a roundabout or something on a road youve not driven before

aye alright, but if you have to brake hard, swerve in the wet etc , you then soon find out the difference

5th gear done a test breaking from 70 using budget tyres, sh!tty part worns and top continentals. the difference between the 3 types emergency stopping with no abs was only a matter of feet.

Still enough to be the difference between life and death though !

On  Toyo T1-Rs



That's Sharpie in the passenger seat, enjoying my T1-Rs.

They're great tyres, especially if you like to give things a dose of enthusiasm.  They also give good grip when it's moist, which is more than a lot of hoops out there.

true. But try to swerve in the wet with a £20 tyre, then try the same with a £80 tyre. You will notice the difference if you end up in the bush or not.

nowt wrong with a bit of bush diving

depends on what bush your driving in

I've just had a full set of T1-'s fitted.

They seem good, but 've not had a chance to really push them.

When I went to get them my choice list was as follows:

1) Uniroyal Rainsports
2) Goodyear GSD3's or preferably Asymetricals (rave reviews)
3) T1-R's

They only had T1-R's in stock.

tbh it all depends on how you drive and where you drive as to the best tyer for you,    

if its dry and you suddenly need to swerve yoko A048's will make you turn the corner, but if theer cold and it's wet  good luck.   i would say for genral driveing matched tyers are more inportant than brand on my van i have some uber cheep mud and snow tyers  for what the van dose they are about the best tyer going, the golf has TR1's  and they work well on that  but would never put tr1's ont he van  or cheep mud and snows on the golf.  

i have a lot of time for the AVON zv3  had meany sets of them it's not a track tyer nor dose it last forever.   they have good to average grip in the dry, supriseingly grippy in the wet and it takes a lot to make them aquaplane   also they have tough sidewalls so potholes and curbs don't damage them.

for entusiastic all round driveing i would suggest the TR1 they are a bloody good tyer for the price and look nice as well

avoid nankang ditch finders ,SV stunners and margoni zetas   they are supremly crap.
