Seeing as we get so many tyre threads, I'd like everyone to rate their tyres and I'll make a thread in FAQ.

I'll start with the tyres on my cars

Toyo Proxes T1R.

Dry performance 4/5
Wet performance 4/5
Durability 3/5
Value 5/5


Yokohama A539

Dry performance 4/5
Wet performance 2/5
Durability 3/5
Value 3/5

Lets get a nice database of tyres up there to help people choose.

If you mark them out of 5 then I'll average up all the reviews of the same tyres.



I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

I found the proxies T1R ran out far too quick! And the A539's just never seem to run out. But agree with what else you said tbh.

Eagle F1's

Dry performance 4/5
wet performance 4/5
durability 4/5
value 4/5

Would recommend those to anyone. Perfect tyre!

Suprised to see people rated T1R's as highly as Rainsport 2's

From what I've read the Rainsports are a big improvement on the T1R's

i think you really need to state what car as on a corsa i would rate the eagle f1's but on the integra the side walls are too soft so ruines the handling, so i would say Hankook RS2s

Cheers MJ
