Opinion from outside the UK
Cool tyres - they have great grip when cornering on dry and wet surfaces - I think it's a quiet tyre, although some people complain about the noise level, I didn't notice anything like that - braking on different road surfaces at different weather conditions is OK - I haven't done much with them, but I'm satisfied - and I definitely recommend.

Soft central part and hard sidewalls make this tyre grip perfectly in corners and greatly fits into ruts. The soft center of the tyre got me worried, because I was afraid they will wear off soon. Nothing like this has happened. Even the front tyres on an FWD car (450 Nm torque, frequent rush starts) are still usable. Definitely recommendable. Read more Collapse

Great grip, great look. I made 7 thousand miles with a set of 4 tires. Normal wear-off - rear ones are like new. Sensational grip when cornering. They're a little bit elastic but I guess it's normal with profile 50. Also they do well on wet - sensational when it comes to aquaplaning. They beat all summer Pirellis and Michelins without doubt.

The grip on wet surface 5/5

I can definitely recommend, I had Barums and similar class tyres before, but eventually I decided to buy a decent tyres and chose Toyo. Great tyres, provide wonderful grip on dry and wet and they shock with their grip in corners! Quiet, its tread wears off normally. This is the second set of these tyres and I don't want to buy anything else. Read more Collapse

Tyres are very good both on dry and wet surfaces. The main advantage of these tyres, next to appearance, of course, is high comfort despite their low profile. The tyre is soft, so the grip is very good, but it's a little bit worse at high temperatures. The wear-off level is quite good for such type of tyres. I definitely recommend. Read more Collapse
Artie
Very well-designed tyres for dry surfaces. Good grip, moderate noise level. Behaves very well when driving fast and aggressively.On wet they behave relatively well, taking into account the tread pattern. First aggressive drive in heavy rain may me a slight surprise, because its grip is absolutely different from the one on dry. Read more Collapse
The grip on wet surface 3/5

Tyre is definitely worth recommending. Oppositely to many reviews about weak grip in corners I bought such tyres and I am satisfied. Wonderful grip in corners, even at high speed. Excellent water drainage. At low temperatures driving comfort drops significantly and the tyre gets hard. Well, but it's definitely a summer tyre. Read more Collapse

It's described as a sports tyre, but it's not necessarily the one. My car is lowered by 35 mm using Eibach springs, cornering is OK but dynamic start and braking causes losing the grip and ABS to turn on. Driving on wet is a nightmare, I bought them because of their opinions, but I won't do it again. They're incredibly loud. Read more Collapse

For these tyres, the correct air pressure is very important. Small differences result in significant swerving of the car on the side where the pressure's lower. The wear-off and its grip on wet is not the best. On dry the tyre's stable even at high speeds in the corners. I recommend it, however its lifespan may discourage. Read more Collapse

The tyres behave sensationally on dry, a little worse on wet. If someone does not make burnout donuts or "burn rubber" when starting, then after 30000 miles (one season) there was enough tread to make twice as much of a distance. Now I bought the PX4 for testing, but I recommend T1-R it's quality-price ratio is 6.0! Read more Collapse

Well, taking into account its price-quality ratio (at least in this size) - sensational. I hesitated about the purchase, but it turned out I was wrong. The tyres are great, good cornering grip, not to mention its behaviour on wet and at higher speeds. I can't complain about its waear-off. Definitely a good tyre. Read more Collapse
barm
Sensational tyre, does great on dry and wet, during cornering and braking. It is so far the most quiet directional tyre available. it's not heard at any speed. Previously, I had Michelin Pilot Sport directional tyres and they were extremely noisy. I highly recommend T1-R. There's no better one at that price. Read more Collapse
Terry
Very good grip on dry surfaces, perfect in corners on wet - like on tracks, but you have to be careful with the throttle. The car can be easily pulled out from a slide. I recommend it to all who like fast and aggressive driving. The only drawback is the speed of abrasion. I will definitely buy them again. Read more Collapse
Michael
I'm very satisfied with the Proxes T1-R. They provide great handling on dry, and I felt safe when driving in wet (of course at speed relevant to the weather conditions). The looks gets a 100% 10/6- they present themselves beautifully. I recommend it to everyone who like to use their car's power :) Read more Collapse
Isher
They're rather poor, oppositely to opinions of majority who are impressed by its looks. I hoped they would be better than previous ones, but I got disappointed. Maybe its comfort of use is better as it's a soft tyre, but it wears off quickly and the car may swerve on the road. it's average on wet. Read more Collapse

Sensational tyre on dry roads, asphalt, concrete at high temperatures. It goes into corners like it was no challenge at high speed, it's quiet and economical. But beware! it's risky to suddenly go through water on it. It behaved dangerously when driving on road stripes. That's the only drawback. Read more Collapse
Iwoy
I am very satisfied! I had Pirelli P5000 Dragos before. Not only were they louder and had lower grip, they also caused the car to slide on wet. Toyos are great, I did not slide even once. I had to make emergency braking from 100 to 50 MPH on the motorway in heavy rain and the car behaved well. Read more Collapse
gld
Very good performance on wet roads. Grips greatly on dry. Very effective in braking and no slipping during starts. Doesn't squeal in tight corners, but if you go too hard, it whirs a bit. I am very satisfied with its driveability and appearance. I just bought the next set for the second car. Read more Collapse
Martin
The tyre is excellent on dry. It is like glued to the surface when cornering. Fringe protector works great. On wet it behaves very badly, the car gets understeer. Starting on wet is always equal to wheel spinning, and ABS switches on when braking. You really need to be careful on wet. Read more Collapse

Pace
Very good tyres. Car drives like glued to the road (a '99 Almera). They're very quiet even when driving fast on the motorway. Great grip in the corners! But for me its fault is the hardness (at profile 50) and the fact that they are cracked despite the fact they are only 3 years old. Read more Collapse
Frank
Great tyre, on warm days it sticks to the surface like a slick tyre, the only drawback may be its wuick wear-off, but it's normal with such compound. I recommend to everyone who like going fast in the corners - there's no need to be afraid of losing grip, you will not be diappointed! Read more Collapse
Benny
Good tyres at a decent price. After fitting them to my car I noticed the grip is much better and braking distance has definitely decreased. On wet they're also OK - their water drainage is great. About wear-off - front tyres have a bit less tread but it's probably a decent wear-off. Read more Collapse
Ariel
The tyres behave very well on both dry and wet surfaces, provide good water drainage, there's no slipping, I haven't noticed any signs of excessive wear-off even with the tyres used sometimes aggressively. I can definitely recommend them because of their quality and comfort of use. Read more Collapse
Tyres are generally fine, but after 2000 miles appeared a "bubble" on the internal side (and I was on the motorway, so practically there weren't any curbs etc.). I didn't make a complaint as I'm sure it would be described as user's fault. Apart from that, I definitely recommend. Read more Collapse
qwerty
After driving 25000 miles and driving over a sharp curb the tyre gave up. Due to that I am forced to buy a new set of tyre, but I'll do it with pleasure, and they will be T1-R tyres again. There's not aquaplaning in wet. Of course, the tyre needs to warm up, but it does great. Read more Collapse
Matthew
Excellent tyre! Wonderful grip on dry asphalt, a little bit worse on wet but it's much better in comparison to, for example, R888s. generally the tyres can't be even heard. As for me, it's a sensational tyre for a decent price. The next set I'll buy will be definitely T1-R. Read more Collapse
GSi 16V
I'll be honest to say that I wanted to buy good tyres at a decent price and managed to do so. So far I can't compalin as the car goes well on dry and wet surfaces, moderate driving style, 75% in the city, 25% outside the city. I didn't notice any excessive or fast wear. Read more Collapse
golyl
The tyres stick very well to dry surface. They're quite soft which is the reason of their quick wear-off, but it also depends on driving style. Generally a good tyre to purchase. I got them when they were at the price of £ 45 per tyre, and I really don't regret it. Read more Collapse
Mack
I have 300 BHP under the hood and I use them with pleasure, in my opinion these tyres definitely allow me to feel safe, they are quiet and very effective when stopping, and their look is just sensational, I will definitely buy them again. I strongly recommend. Read more Collapse
Peter
Typical summer season tyres. It's better to fit winter tyres for winter. Good grip when driving on straights and in corners. A big advantage is its braking distance, fringe protector, appearance and price. It's number one when it comes to price-quality ratio. Read more Collapse
Stephen
I can recommend them without hesitation. Traction in corners is sensational, it doesn't make much difference if the surface is dry or wet. ABS switches on really rarely.Last season, I wore off Pirelli P6000s, are incomparable to Toyos. I strongly recommend. Read more Collapse
chris130
Awesome at cornering, great handling, great braking, they behave a bit worse on wet, but there's no aquaplaning, They provide good grip in corners. Wear-off is above the average but the price is a bargain :) There are no better ones. I definitely recommend. Read more Collapse
The tyres are quitei are good, they're fitted to a Passat Estate, it sticks to the road luke glued, they don't squeal even with much gthrottle pressed, quiet. I don't note their wear-off as I didn't do much mileage on them, they give great grip in ruts. Read more Collapse
Good tires to brake but that's all. Rather weak grip in corners, and at higher temperatures (about 28 - 30 degrees) it's a total tragedy, the car behaves like on ice - that's why I gave it a low score for behaviour on dry. On wet tyres go rather well. Read more Collapse
AD
Great tyres, I changed to it from Goodyear Excellence and they are incomparable, the car goes like on tracks, great grip in corners, they're quiet and comfortable. So far it's the beast tyre purchase I ever made. I recommend because they're worth it! Read more Collapse
Napac
Cool tyres. Nice grip in the corners. Driving in the rain is also comfortable. In 2008 I made a holiday tour of 200 miles during heavy rain and I had great grip. I don't know if I would buy them again - we'll see what will be available for some time. Read more Collapse
Tom
I can recommend them to anyone. You shouldn't hesitate about the purchase because the tyres are sensational. They never failed, even in a dangerous situation, no matter if the surface was hot or covered with water. For me, it's a great purchase. Read more Collapse
Tommy
They look nice, grip on dry is very nice, no squealing. I did 10 000 miles with them and I can definitely recommend them for small, fast cars :) 100% satisfaction, maybe it's a little worse on wet but you don't drive fast in such conditions... Read more Collapse
Gio
The tyres do really great, but only from spring to late autumn :). In winter I recommend to change them for more suitable tyres, unless you like driving with an unexpected pressure increase in your body, and I have experienced it myself :) Read more Collapse
Sidney
The car's practically glued to the road, amazing driveability at speeds up to 130 MPH, the car sensationally sticks to the surface. I strongly recommend to everyone who like driving fast and particularly to use with rear wheel drive cars. Read more Collapse
jack
Tyres are great, but only one drawback excludes them from normal use - they vibrate at speeds above 60 MPH. Terrible manufacturing, when put on a balancing machine the wheel goes straight, and the tyre vibrates - probably made in China. Read more Collapse
Nathan
They quickly wear off and are noisy, and poorly run in ruts. Their only advantage is their good look. Unfortunately, when it comes to driveability, they are not even comparable to Continental SportContacts, especially the first series. Read more Collapse
Ralph
Although I've been using these tyres only for 5 days, but I think they're really amazing :) No matter what the weather is, dry or wet, they stick to the road. And of course... they have a great appearance :) I strongly recommend them! Read more Collapse
Agnes
Great tyres! I would definitewly buy them, but I think their price is not relevant to their quality! We just have to pay for the name, however I'll probably change to Continental Conti3, they're cheaper and have a harder compound! Read more Collapse
vodapaf
It's as good as Fuldas, I think it's OK and the price is also OK, I was also very satisfied. I did not have any top-class tyres, the latest models of the most known brands, but I think this tyre is all right in its price range. Read more Collapse
adam
They would be perfect if it wasn't for quick wear-off - after 12000 miles I only had 4 mm of tread in the front, rear ones are fine as there is still 7 mm of tread. I recommend to use them on wet surfaces as they behave great. Read more Collapse
Wally
One of the best tyres in its class, very good driveability and its price is great, compared to Continental ContiPremiumContact and Dunlop SP Sport 9000. It has sports tyre characteristics and provides a great driving comfort. Read more Collapse

The tyres are great. I am very satisfied. They behave well on dry as well as on wet and when braking. I also had an opportunity to use them on snow and ice - I think that these tyres are better than some cheap winter ones :-) Read more Collapse
Gary
I've heard a lot of positive reviews for the Toyos, and as soon as I bought it I realized that they were worth it :-) Very fun to drive on, and despite the fact that these are summer tyres, they behave very well on snow :-) Read more Collapse
Cole
Very cool tyres. First of all, quiet and good in bad weather conditions (rain). It's hard to lose traction on them. Good driving comfort and small rolling resistance. However, after 35000 miles only 3 mm of tread was left. Read more Collapse
