Those Toyos T1's are pants. Get some Kuhmo tyres, made of plastic and last forever.

Goodyear F1's have a similar level of grip to the toyos and last longer.
I found the grip from the T1-Rs better than the T1-S but they lasted about the same amount of time...
Heard very good things on SXOC about Falken F452s although I've never tried them.

Just put some Falken FK 452's on the rear and they don't seem to bad. They have had some good reviews but not had a chance to see how they wear yet.
Got them from:

wouldnt touch falkens with a barge pole used to have them on my corsa they were lethal in the wet!
Goodyear F1s seem to be winning so far heard they are a good tyre.
Looking for khumo now too

F1's are a good tyre but going to be expensive for 4. They are as you say highly rated.

Uniroyal Rainsports are a favourite for me the change from Toyo's to them was amazing in the wet.
Also as abdus said sport contact 2's are good

Going to order the F1s
Ollie who is this chap and is he intelligent?
Had to have an argument with the chap in the tyre place as he didnt beleive me that my tyres need rotating every 2-3k cos of the 4x4 system he said someone was "having me on" Plus he wouldnt undo one of my wheels cos it was "too tight" 
Fucking jobsworths!
