Toyo R1R Reviews - Page 3

Given 89% while driving a Lotus Europa S 225 (235/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
Front: 205/50/15
Rear: 235/45/16

Dry grip from these tyres is amazing, best dry gripping tyre I've had yet. The car corners like it is on rails. I can definitely carry a lot more spped in to corners now with plenty of confidence. (Previously had Goodyear F1, F1 Aysemmetric, ContiSportContact 2, Vredestien Ultrac, Ultrac Sessanta, Toyo T1-S and T1-R).

The sidewalls are very stiff so you will loose some comfort, but not much and I probably notice it more in the Europa given its stiff suspension setup.

Not had them long enough to comment on them about ware but given the grip i'm getting from them I'm not too fussed.

Given 87% while driving a Mitsubishi Evolution FQ330 (245/40 R18) on track for 3,000 spirited miles
Great all-round tyres, much better than the R888s in the wet. Only downfall is they can be overheated on long tracks on hot days, but they remained progressive and still great fun. Drove over 400 miles to the Nurburgring with them and the injection mouldings hadn't even worn off of them. Only thing that I wouldn't buy them for would be the getting too hot problem.

Given 84% while driving a Mazda rx7 (255/40 R17 W) on mostly country roads for 4,000 spirited miles
Excellent tyre for 'spirited' driving, with brilliant feed back and progression.
