   Good tyres, but wear on the sides quickly.

   brilliant tyres. u will go thru the passenger front fast as its your main roundabout tyre and they are soft compound. good for racing they get very sticky after a few laps, and very good in wet. best set of tyres iv had so far.... and iv had a lot

   Great road tyre, they give good feedback and very progressive grip.
   
   Rubbish on track as they over heat very quickly and wear through

   I have them and love them! Like campdavid says loads of feedback from them, they make a strange noise when your understeering that i've never known any other tyre do. Ours have worn on edges too but roundabouts are fun

    I would say they are a good tyre but thats based on two main things. I have them fitted to the car now and the tyres i had before were crap. I don't rag the car around so i can't say anything about the grip apart from they keep me on the road . One thing i notice in the rear view mirror is that they kick up an absolute shed load of spray in the wet, so i presume they are doing their job .

    Care to elaborate, you can't just come in and say they are 'wank' without giving a reason why This is a technical section after all

    Toyo is owned by goodyear anyway, so i would think the eagle is a very close compound to the t1r/s
