radiorahem Member 134 Member For: 16y 7m 11d Posted 22/07/09 09:46 AM Share Posted 22/07/09 09:46 AM Getting a pair of 235/45/17 toyo r1r on the weapon this week, was going to get the toyo t1-r but in the 255/40/17.Have I made the right choice because I know the r1r is the next step up from the t1-r but for holding traction in a straight line wouldn't I have been better off with the bigger tyre?

Benny-4000 Member 31 Member For: 17y 3m 25d Posted 28/07/09 11:55 AM Share Posted 28/07/09 11:55 AM (edited) I have toyo prox 4 on my 350rwkw typhoon and sure 1st gear you have to be gentle, but once you are in second it doesnt spin. They do need at least 40psi in them though otherwise they spin up like crazy. If I have only 38psi in them, the traction is about as good as if it is raining. LOL.

At the end of the day anythin over say 340rwkw is gonna be hard to tame on the street Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/59872-my-new-tyres/#findComment-913618 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 29/07/09 12:01 AM Share Posted 29/07/09 12:01 AM I have the R1R's on my car and they stick like glue once warm. 1st and 2nd still struggle a bit although they are heaps better than any of the previous tyres I owned inc T1r's Mythos and Kumho Ecsta's....Im sure you'll be impressed with these tyre's.
