Dont know if any of you rate toyo t1r,s but i have found them to be one of the worst tyres i have ever used, sure they grip but the harshness of them is unbelievable,i fitted some team dynamics 16" alloys off my xsara vts on my C2 they had t1r,s on them the noise and harshness was worse than when they were on my xsara (i fitted 17,s on my xsara with hankooks on and they were a smoother ride than 16" 45 profile toyo,s)
At last the rears have worn out and the fronts arent too far behind,i replaced the rears with Hankook ventus v12 evo,s and what a massive improvement in noise and ride quality and they still grip well,just for the record i run my c2 on 205/45x16 rather than 195,s as with the 7jx16 rims they fill the arch better and slightly raise the very low gearing as i do a lot of motorway miles in the c2.

i had these on my fiesta ZS and they were shite like, when u got them warm yeah there good but cold or in the rain they were awful my zs was very tail happy with them and eventually that got the better of me and i wrote the thing off was gutted
I had T1-Rs on my vRS and I thought they were alright... handled the Nurgburgring just fine.
To be fair tho, I'm running on Vredestein these days..

i found them to be really good, thats what was on the BMW 18" alloys i had, mind they were 235's.. so quite abit wider
we got Toyo's on our vRS atm, proxes 4 (PX4) something like that anyway lol.. but they seem to be good alround to be fair :)
Toyo's have a good rep for grip, however theyre stupidly fast wearing compared to some, parada spec yokies compared to them any day for me im afraid. ran them all the time and always been perfectly fine.

How did you manage to wear out the back tyres first if its front wheel drive?

They were some old wheels off my xsara VTS and i put the wheels that were on the front of the Xsara on to the rear of the C2,but even then was amazed how quick they wore out on the back but relieved as the difference the Hankooks have made is fantastic,just cant wait for the fronts now,about 1.5mm till they get to the twi bars but if i got the cash may do them sooner.
