From my personal experiance with toyo's T1R tyre, the level of grip is excelent but im not impressed with how quick they have worn tbh. I dont really drive hard but occasionally like to have some fun on the country roads and the speed they have worn at is astonishing.
Saying that ive just put a 3rd set of T1R's on the front on my mates GSI within 4 months. He drives like a tool everywhere though

No far from it. I'm sure that there are many more that are worse than the F1's. But for me between them and the T1R's, Toyo win coz the grip lasts untill they are racing slicks where as the F1's are not as grippy now.

No worries m8 i only said that because of your initial post.
TBH if i had the F1s and the T1Rs back to back on the evo through a few 80mph bends i honest dont think i would be able to tell the difference

If they are new then i think that the F1's will be a little better. But after 5k i'd say that the T1R's would be better.

BF goodrich profiler G: utter shite all round
Goodyear F1: great tyre in both dry and wet, wear well and cope with traction
Uniroyal rainsport: same as the F1 but better in the wet, great under traction and braking, soft tyrewall means they grip but dont feel as direct in corners. Last ages as well
I went through Rainsports in 3K in my Astra. I had them on my 1st Corsa, but that was so long ago i can't remember how they were.
You went through a set of tyres in 3k. You drive like a fucktard 
I have done 19k on my Continentals and they still have about 3mm left.

F1's seem to work better on bigger cars like 3/5 series size cars. I had some Toyos on the corsa C and they seemed really good.
But the F1's are well known to be some of the best rubber on the road

I've had both types of Toyo Proxes. And the Goodyear Eagle F1's. Prefer the F1's.
