I have had T-1Rs on my MX5 for 5 out of 6 years.

wouldn't consider anything else for the car, the price and performance....

Got TR1's on my 20vT and had them on the front of my old 206 GTi. Can't fault them at all.

I'm running Toyo T1Rs. Good price, good grip and last 20k up front on the daily.

20k from T1-R's!? Fucking hell, I got about 5k out of them... they get cussed badly on ClioSport, so have just replaced my fronts with Michelin Pilot 3's.

£100 a pair on Black Circles.

only ever got about 8-10k out of my t1rs

but then if you move the rears to the front 16-20k is about what they'd last if you get what I mean?

T1R's are a very soft tyre, I'd be extremely surprised if anyone got 20k out of a set on the front.

Mostly grandad motorway driving. The Toyos are cheap enough to buy every 20k upfront. Rears last a bit longer.

207 which the Mrs uses around town is on the original Michelin Energy. Tend to crack on the sides after a few years.

Can you get AD08's in your size.. Certainly a great tyre. Much better than t1r's.

I've had 2 sets of T1-R's, amazing tyres for the money really. I got 20k out of both sets of mine, swapping front to rear when half worn. That's in a 350bhp mk3 astra with a visit to Santa pod and a track day. I did however find they were far too soft on track, side walls just folded under and tread was peeling off.
