R1R>T1R

T1R's are a cheaper "performace" tyre... more street based, good mileage, crap grip
R1R's are pretty much next best thing to semi-slicks... get pretty good grip, stiffer sidewalls but mileage not that great, i think i got around 20xxx k's but was probably illegal-ish after 17xxx k's or so

I've had T1R's and RE001's - The Bridgestones outperform the Toyo's with ease.

Toyo's will surely be cheaper though.

I just have got R1R's fitted and they actually feel pretty good - though, i haven't actually driven the car hard yet...

How about the Toyo proxes 4,where do they fit compared to the T1R and RE001?

It's funny cause going from cheap tyres to Toyo T1S's was great,then T1R's were better but I need more grip!!!

Judging by the Toyo website the proxes 4 are the model UNDER T1R's.

How are Kuhmo KU 31 to RE001's?

Toyo Proxes 4 < T1R < R1R

I had proxes 4 n they were ok, but compared to R1R's which i have now they are pretty much useless. Had camber wear after 15xxx K's or so, even when the rest of the tyre was still in good shape, this was on a 17" rim mind u.
