Toyo T1R Vs Toyo PX4

[st10587]

ok need new tyres for the front of the FR and i cant work out the difference between the T1R and PX4 except the fiver difference in price and a different tread pattern. Anyone got any ideas about grip, life, noise, which people think are better.... any help guys n girls??

if the PX4 you refer to is the same as the Proxes 4 (link) on the UK site there is very little difference in the description from the T1-R.

Some have mixed opinions about these tyres in wet weather, and in terms of length of tread life.

Also look at Goodyear GSD-3, and there is a Falken which costs about £70 from Camskill which has had quite good ratings.

yep the PX4 and Proxes 4 are the same. i would love to buy F1's but they are way to much money for me atm. i can get T1R for £125 a pair

both very good tyres, have px4's on mine for the second time now. Good grip in both wet and dry. When they do start to lose grip its predictable loss, rather than gripping then nothing and your off the road into a ditch like you find on budgets. Hope that makes sense. Have had the t1r's to but on different wheels. They felt very similar, thats the only reason I stuck with the px4.

i had exactly the same decison, i went for px4's as they are cheaper...read very little difference between the two, and they got a great write ups on a few review sites, also tread pattern looks nice

Have had them for about 3k now...really good wear and good grip in both wet and dry

Assuming you run OE tyres (from memory the wifes Ibiza TDI FR used to have 195/45/16's), check these out:

GDS-3 F1's

steve has the facelift tdi Fr, so runs on 17's not 16's IIRC....

 

[knight85]

also i think camskills is just the tyre/parts and not the fitting...black circles price includes the fitting iirc

 

[st10587]

205/40/R17's on mine as its a facelift

 

[knight85]

you going with black circles? thats where i got mine px4's from

[st10587]

knight how do you find the toyo compared to the p zero that came with it?

 

[st10587]

ok after speaking to the tyre guys at work they say px4's unless im going to be serious tracking the car so i have gone for them, price £106 off ebay for 2 new ones delivered!

 

[stebbi]

Good pX4's on my FR. Grip is good in both wet and dry and a really good looking tread. Be lucky to see 8K out of them though.
