I `ve just fitted Falken 452` s all round, Dnb has been using them for a while and happy with `em so far, bought from Camskill as well.

Have the Conti Sport Contact 2 on all 4 corners. Excellent choice, very good ones in the wet! N1 is a Porsche approval. Per

out of those...defo the Conti's.

Got your email mate, but I can't find any either . . .

Have Toyo stopped making the T1-R in 245/45/ZR16 ?

If so that's a bit of a mare to say the least . . ..

ETA - These guys have some according to their site . . . http://www.tyredrive.co.uk

Have a look at Goodyear Eagle F1s - I found them to be as good or better than T1-Rs. But since putting a set on, I would still recommend R888's even though you said you don't want them... After driving around the other day in torrential rain with a thick sheet of water across the entire motorway for part of the journey, I have absolute confidence in them. I was on my guard for aquaplaning at any time but saw none. Then in the dry and even normal wet roads, they make all other tyres feel like part-worn remoulds...

Have had Falkens 452 on my Griff for 2/3 years now - pleased with them

I've just put Conti Sport Contacts on both my Chim and BMW328...but they are expensive, can't comment as yet.
Apparantly TOYO had 4 T1s tyres in the country(245/45s) in October (and they were spoken for) and were expecting 100 to be delivered end of November.

Just seen this on the lighter side.

Worrying if true re: Toyos.

BB,
I ordered 2 rears (245/45/16) T1-R's from Camskill about 2 weeks ago.

452'S from Camskill....... cant fault them.

[Ballistic Banana]

cheers guys managed to get some from camskill £85 each plus £4 delivery.

Just a note as i am unsure they are going to make these anymore as my local guy rang Toyo direct and they didnt have any ? he didnt ask if they were still making them though..
