   I'm on S-Drive and had no problems... I don't drive the car too much because i'm away but they are lasting and i'm very happy.

   Yes bud, i actually got them for £37... places like kwik fit have them priced over £55 per wheel.
   
   I read up and some people claim they are loud and makes lots of noise, I can't say thats the case, providing you got right tyre pressure in they sound like any tyre

    Toyo T1-R's are excellent. I've had them on my car for a couple of weeks now tried them in all weather conditions and they're still awesome Paid £167.82 for 2 from http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/

    I believe the Proxes 4RF is just the newer edition of tyre from Toyo ... since the T1-S is discontinued now ... But could be wrong.
