[Craig Senior]

Mmmm.

I can see why they were cheap..............



........They're not a matching set, the grooves go the wrong way on one of them

 

[moditsteve]

Very Funny

Enjoy them while they last!


(I've got a pair of T1-R on the front of my FR TDI. I reckon they're going to last no more than 8k to 9k. They're grippy though.)

I've got T1-Rs on my Passat (thought they'd superceded the T1-S, is thay why they're cheap ? ), still got a reasonable amount of tread left after 8k miles.

i am now goin onto my 3 rd set of tyres at 15000 miles p zero nero think its time to change brand

 

[grq]

Where did you buy them from?

 

[Triple D]

Big mistake chap, they are pretty grippy in the dry, in the wet, they are shockingly scary. I have a set on mine, now i know its not a standard car, but, after 3k miles, the fronts were done, so had to change them to the backs, now on about 6k, and they are all neary finished. Side walls are soft, and scrubb so easily.

With a standard PD130 fr i suppose they will be fine, but now in the dry, with the tc off, they spin in 3rd gear, in the wet they spin in 3rd with the tc on, so now i have to turn the tc off so i dont speed, as they have not very much grip at all.

I have just ordered some Bridgestone Potenzas from mytyres.co.uk, 2 were £161 delivered including vat.They got a pretty good write up, have pretty damm good grip in dry, wet and snow, and are just a bit more than the T1-S.

Ive only ordered 2, but, will get another 2 at the end of the month and will report on how good/bad they are.
