tompollock Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I need to replace the very old Toyo T1-S and T1-R tyres on my C7 1700 Supersprint which runs on 15 inch rims. Road use only and with cost in mind. Not worried about longevity as I don't do enough miles, just driveability, in all conditions.Are any members using Toyo TR-1 tyres and how have they found them? Other lower priced recommendations welcome!Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan c Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I have been running them for a while, give me all the grip I need. We do some long trips and need something that can cope with everything Inc heavy rain and they have been fine for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 About to make a similar decision. I recently purchased a 1993 1700 SuperSprint with 6000 miles mostly in the 90s and early 00s with no miles since 2008. It on its original Goodyear NCT 5000 15" tyres. I looked at the TR1s and the NS2R and all seem wrong for the car, almost to modern. Then I discovered Yokohama where remaking modern A008s, which are a period tyre (stopped production in 1995) in the correct size. There isn't much on blatchat about these tyres apart from comments when they had already been disconnected. I am choosing them because of their period look and relatively higher grip than the original Goodyears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompollock Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 Thanks for the swift replies. Googled and found 2 more forum members happy with the way the TR1's performed on their 7's so that's good enough for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
