Toyo proxes t1r or Yokohama parada spec 2

by Allys Cally » Sat Nov 03, 2012 8:50 pm

well seeing as i've managed to persuade MrD to sell me the set of 17" bbs's that he had :D i'm looking at some new tyres for them. now i have Falken 452's fitted on my 16" bbs's on the se9 and they are a good tyre, but while searching the good old bay of E i've found that i can get a set of both the above for roughly the same price that i paid for the Falkens.

so i'm looking for some views from anyone using either of the two above mentioned tyres

T1-R's mate....

Had all three makes.

Falkens where ok, but wore the quickest for me.
Yokos where good but got fairly noisy when half worn (main part of reason to get shot of alloys)
Currently on Toyo T1-R's again now, they are the dearest (normally) but IMO the best of the three.

well Andy the T1-R's are cheaper than the Parada spec 2's on the bay, a quick wearing tyre doesn't bother me for the amount of times i actually drive the bloody thing :lol:

Didn't like the Toyo's, was never happy in the wet and they rubbed the arch. Been using Yoko's for 20 odd years and the Parada's are a lot better.

T1-R's

Great value, really grippy in both wet and dry and wear very well....i personally dont think you can beat T1-R's
