Need some new tyres for my Toledo 1.8T. Currently got GS-D3s, they're OK, but not overly impressed if im honest. Think the originals were Bridgestone Turanzas of some type - anyone know? Or some recommendations? Probably just get a couple of fronts for now as the rears seem OK.

Had to go for the T1-R as they didn't have 4 of either Bridgestone RE050 or anything else that sounded half way decent. Bit concerned reading about soft sidewalls on these as thats been a pet hate with past tyres. Hopefully be OK. Will report back. 
Merry Xmas everyone

I had the T1-R's on my last car which was a MG ZS 180. I thought they were brilliant and didn't notice any problems with hard cornering.
Right, just a quick update on the Toyos. Ive driven 500+ miles on them over the xmas period.
First thing, they have some of the best grip levels (both in dry and wet conditions) ive found in any tyre (which does make me suspicious about the wear rate - both my previous sets of tyres have lasted ~22k, dont know if these will match that).
The sidewalls do appear to be a smidge softer than other tyres ive had on the Toledo 1.8T. However, so far it hasn't been an issue, but i haven't pushed the car hard as yet. (not really had the weather for it!) Overall so far they seem pretty good.

Good stuff. I'd agree that they probably will wear a bit quicker though because of that level of grip they provide.
Good wear rate and grip you're probably looking at the Goodyear F1 assymetric, but they're expensive

Don't let them get past 3mm, as the drop off in grip with them is horrendous.

I had BF Goodrich Profiler 2's at the last change, and noticed a definite reduction in ride quality. Roadholding was the same or maybe slightly better. (Toledo TDI 110 S 2002)
