ran 3 sets of toyo T1S
each only lasted 6 months --to soft for a heavy car.(takes corners off)
now on mich PS2 hoping for 12 months on these -- better wear , harder compound, just as good grip but more$$$
would of liked to tried toyo T1R but cant justify what is essentialy a trak tyre.

Ah. Don't like to say this. But. Had some Uniroyal RainSport IIs on my Mercedes C230K on a spare set of alloys. Lowered, staggered 17" AMG wheels, the car had a good footing. Compared to the main set which had my preferred F1 GSD3s the Rainsports were dissapointing.

They didn't grip so well in the dry and considering their name, in the wet they were poor. Compared to the F1s which are excellent that is.

Now the worst bit. Almost added this to the squealing tyres thread. In the dry, correct pressure etc, the Rainsport's in the summer squealed like an American car chase on every roundabout. Sure I wasn't driving like a vicar, but I doubt you do either.

Hope they fair better on a 4WD car.

Had 3 sets on the car now. they work very well I think. Give enough grip on launch too. but only good with 3mm on them.

[GrahamS4]

Phew! Thought I was bringing you bad news having just placed an order. Glad they work for you.

[BRETTCOLLINS]

they seem to work well on 4WD cars and FWD very well, but not RWD cars. very funny. use them on my rover turbo too.
