They are very good once they are warmed up but not good when the road is wet!

What about toyo proxies?

Are these for road use or track
Road use either toyo proxies, Rainsports or vredestein sessantas
Track r888 but pricey
Or I've got nankang ns2r in soft compound but they are not good on cold wet roads

Bit of both I will give toyo proxies a go as can get them for 140 a pair!

I had T1R's on Nurburgring and they were fine, when get warmed up even very good. But I don't have any experience with semi or slick tyres. I'm also sure TOYOs saved me on street couple of times. Not best choice for rainy cold days as they loosing grip quicker (but all tyres do that) and you have to remember this, also wearing quite quickly.

Still best tyres I ever had and I'm more happy with them than so highly rated rainsport 3

R888's are expensive and while they are a road going semi slick which should really only be used on track, the same with the Federal 595 RSR. Their compounds are too soft and their side walls are too hard for regular road use. I use the 595 RSR's as a dry race tyre on my 4th gen.

Yokohama Parada spec 2's are apparently crap and even worse in the wet.

For a road car you should be looking at all weather tyres. A good set will perform well in all conditions. RainSport 3's is all I ever put on my road car.

Worst tyres ever, ok slightly better than p6000s but an Awful on the prelude and even the 306s chassis out classed em.

Nankang ns2s are a good budget choice imo.
