I've recently noticed that Demon Tweeks has stopped listing Toyo T1-Rs ( https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/toyo-t1-r-tyre-249... ) in the size I use (195/50/15) which is a very common size. I've also noticed that they're selling another Toyo tyre, the TR1 ( https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/toyo-proxes-tr1-ty... ) which according to Toyo's website is new. Is the TR1 a replacement for the T1R? It looks as if the TR1 would be better in the wet (looks like they've looked at what Uniroyal are doing) but I just wondered if anyone knew if it's a direct replacement or not? The price of the TR1 on Demon Tweeks is about the same as it used to be for the T1Rs, hence I'm thinking it might be. All searches I've made on Google for 'TR1' just make reference T1Rs, caused by typos.
