Hi peeps,

Okay ive had a bit of a problem area lol Ive been saving some money up for a while now n hopefully about two months away from finally buying my buddy club alloys lol the problem kinda starts there :roll: im Buying the wheels and tyres part of a package n they have offered me the toyo T1-R, uniroyal rainsport 2 and yokohama (cant remember the yoko's name)
theres so much to take into consideration with these tires though so any input would be great! lol

thanks for your time and help

ive used both the toyo proxies and the uniroyal rainsports and i cant really split them to be honest. there both very good tyres and i didnt have any problems with either. the only thing i can think of is that the rainsports were better in the wet...the name says it all. thats it..dont know about the yokohama so cant comment.

okay cool,

ive heard people say that the toyo's sidewalls are like jelly which made me worry a bit, i heard a review by a guys who said it felt like the tyre wanted to fold under hard conering.. (i personally think he needed to put some air in the tyres though lol)

did you find the toyo's uncomfordable at 60 or 70mph? apaprently some people say that it feels like the wheel is loose again there could be multiple factors,

thanks for your opinion dude

nah the tyres are fine cornering and going at high speeds..they are very grippy in dry conditions!
