Really? I was qouted £500 for them (one of the most expensive) at ATS the other week... I always thought that they were a very good tyre... I like them anyway, but I haven't experienced much else...

I'm getting T1-R's though, they are different to T1-S's....

i have toyos, i think they r shit hot, but as said, they do tend to wear VERY quick!! only had front ones on for 6months, need replacing again!!!:mad:

i love them... they wear quicker because they are a little softer than other tyres.
excellent tyres! :thumbs:

i had toyos they were spot on with the 1.4 8v

then i fitted the gsi engine asnd the front wore pretty quickly they just couldnt cope

ed, toyos are a budget tyre, not a performance one, they were like the cheapest ones mytyres do in 16".

i got toyo t1's, they are absolute dog shit in the wet, and not much better in the dry, plus they wear really fast. uniroyals next time for me.

I had toyos on my wheels when i had them from Halfords.... OZ Titans 15's with toyo tyres.... £500.00 Bargain.... the front have worn quickly, but back are good as new.....

Had them on my 16's, when Halfords put the wrong tyres on my wheels when I ordered them - as you choose performance tyres like Yokos or Toyos as an extra... They are grippy ;)

This time I was wearing my blagging hat, and managed to get them for about £100 less than ATS an E-Tyres were selling thier budget tyres for in this size, which I am prety pleased about :D For the Corsa's new 18's ;):)

Iv got toyo T1's? dunno, older ones and theyve been pretty good allround tyres. Cant reall tell you if they grip at high speed cos my car dont go fast, but in wet they were ok.

Saved me in a few stupid cases where w@nker drivers do silly things. GGGGrrrrrrrr @ them.

The beasts gonna bee off the road for a while now, broke me fnarging arm.:mad:

What are they for your corsa? bet they shouldnt have been cheap.

My car is only going to be doing about 80 miles on them this year anyway... And I payed fuck all for them, for the size of them that is...

i heard that they wear quickly, but that only what i've heard. look nice tho.

Just got me a set of thier new tyres (T1-R) in 205/35 x 18 for a very very nice price :D
