Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear October 24, 2006 Share October 24, 2006 T1R should be about the same as Dunlop Sports Maxx. Good high performance tyre with good wet handling compared to AD07. Have bro's using these 3 on track. Generally no complaints. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topps Neutral Newbie October 24, 2006 Share October 24, 2006 Can give more details on why T1R CMI? Dry, wet performance, treadwear and mileage u ran on them will be helpful. U mentioned considering other tires, so which ones are better than T1R? I'm interested to know as T1R is one of the tires on my shortlist. TIs toyo..not tat fantastic given the fact u weigh it agsinst its dollar value if u compare with others of same dollar value.. it is only an average tire..i just change my to toyo t1r recently..i regretted n i should have stayed with my hankook!

Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear October 24, 2006 Share October 24, 2006 (edited) It's cheaper than Sports Maxx. Is it some places are jacking up the price? CL7 and DC5 users are quite OK with T1R.... Hmmm what profile are you running on? Edited October 24, 2006 by Vblaster_w211 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Neutral Newbie October 24, 2006 Share October 24, 2006 T1R not so suitable for track. It looses big time in dry grip, wet so so only not that great. Hankook R-S2 much much better than T1R on track. R-S2 sidewall stiffer than AD07 and doesn't slide that early as AD07 on Sepang. Prob the best price vs perf right now in the amrket. Better grip than T1R & Sport Maxx, cost less as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Neutral Newbie October 24, 2006 Share October 24, 2006 I guess I was like you, 1 of the many that got over hype by T1R in the movie and got con by smooth talking tyre sales man. Seriously a dissappointing tyre to say the lease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear October 24, 2006 Share October 24, 2006 (edited) You use it at Sepang? What's your profile? Hankook is probably a good priced alternative, but I'm a more Dunlop/Advan user thus far. T1R and Sports Maxx beats AD07 big time when wet. Anyway, it's all subjective. Reviews put the Sports Maxx ahead of T1R, yet some bro's prefer T1R over Sports Maxx when on track. For these UHP tyres, it's done to individual preference and also how the suspension setup is done on the car to complement it. Noticed quite a few users here quite happy with these tyres mentioned.

Abba Neutral Newbie October 25, 2006 Share October 25, 2006 profile 235/45/17 U should try R-S2, seriously. Dry grip is astounding beats Sports Maxx & T1R; wet grip more than decent for our flash thunderstorms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear October 25, 2006 Share October 25, 2006 (edited) You mean this? Looks to be good on dry, but doubt will be anywhere near Sports Maxx/T1R when wet. Somehow reminds me of AD07... Sports Maxx: But we won't know till we try them out ourselves... Hmmm.... maybe next tyre change... Edited October 25, 2006 by Vblaster_w211 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Neutral Newbie October 25, 2006 Share October 25, 2006 Actually if you look closely, AD07 has only 2 center ribs and 3 channels of drainage. Hankook R-S2 has 3 center ribs and 4 channels of drainage. Also the channels are wider. R-S2 has stiffer sidewalls than AD07. R-S2 wet grip more than suffice in heavy downpours and even on NSHW exceeding the speed limit. So no worries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear October 25, 2006 Share October 25, 2006 Looks like a compromise between dry grip, noise and wet weather. Comparing to Sports Maxx, which has also the same number of bands and drains, the Sports Maxx is likely to be quieter and better when wet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Neutral Newbie October 25, 2006 Share October 25, 2006 True Sports Maxx may be quitier and better in wet but in the UHPT category I'll rather go for ultimate Dry grip with sufficient wet grip to be safe. Plus point is the competitive price. Sport Maxx is expensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverycivic Neutral Newbie October 26, 2006 Share October 26, 2006 So how much saving are we talking, IMHO, Sport Maxx isn't that ex, so far quote 215 17" is around $160 plus minus. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
