Toyo T1's

[Mustang Baz]

Have just discovered a huge nail in one of my rear tyres - a Toyo Proxes T1-S. Have been excellent tyres to date (and still not heavily used ) but now need a replacement as I am loosing air fast. A couple of queries

- Toyo T1-R appears the "newer" model; anyone have any +ve or -ve experiences? Look about £140 per tyre currently.
- I have one tyre I really HAVE to replace, but should I replace both rears nonetheless at the same time to ensure even wear ongoing? Concerned about differences in "feel" and road-handling if I do not.

Thanks in advance!

Definitely change both rather than just one I reckon. I changed my rears from T1-S to T1-R's about 3K miles ago, no major difference noticed in them to be honest. Still feel very confident in wet and dry.

Just seen this on another thread it might be worth a call although no experience of them myself.

Just got feedback from the "guru" - Martin at Racing Green - and recommendation is indeed to change both tyres as tread wear can be different on rears if fitted at diff times (not advisable). Have accordingly purchased 2 T1-R's (245/40/18's) at app £130 each fully fitted, inc VAT etc from BlackCircles. Excellent service - and they give a 5% PH discount if you type in Pistonheads in the promotional window.
