have they stopped making the t1-S's need to replace one, all i can find is t1-r's?
IF they have Am I best getting a t1-r or just anything with resonable grip?! as it's obviously not going to match with the other 3 anyway.

Found some on ebay, 40.95 including delivery for 195/50/15 looked on my tyres, camskills and blackcircles but no luck for t1-s's any other sites that might have them?

im not sure mate, but i dont know if you have your heart set on these tyres but i recently changed my front tyres from proxies to yoko s-drive's (new on the market) and imo they are alot better than the proxies, much more grip in the wet and do an awsome job in the dry, not a bad price either...

The R is the replacement, so I think the S stock is being dwindled out.

Its not that i have my heart set on them, its just the other 3 tyres are t1's's that are hardly worn.So would i not be better off with a t1's or should i sack it off anyway to phase them out? as long as its a decent tyre?

i had R's before the S's and i've never had problems, I don't drive like a nutter though, I "make progress" though. Not doubting there are better tyres like but they have always stood me well.

Anyone know about having one different make, will the differences cause a problem, im thinking not noticably?

I'm going back to T1R's from the Eagle F1's. Much better grip all round.

Different makes will only have a problem i think if you have some cheap remolds and some good ones.

Everyone raves about f1's thought about them next.

I though that too, might buy something different as it looks like i need to move away from t1-s's if they dont make them anymore.

You serious?

I have had many sets of Toyos on my car, swapped to Goodyear Eagle F1 over a year ago and haven't looked back since. Would recommend them to anyone. Wet performance is much much better, they hold about the same in the dry and don't shred like cheese.
