My car has 18" PFF7's with Toyo Proxys all round. I need 2 new front tyres. I looked on www.mytyres.co.uk and have found replacements at a very reasonable price, however they are 'Toyo Proxy T1R's' which are non-directional. They seem to have a different pattern on the outer edges as well. As they would be on the same 'axle' I am not overly concerned.

What are these tyres like compared with the 'normal' ones (usually a picture/ advert at the top of these pages.)

Also, is it OK to have different tyres front and back - the car has Prodrive springs, front & rear strut braces and a fast road geometry set up by TSL Motorsport.

I ran Toyo's on the back and Goodyears on the front for a few months and couldnt tell the difference .....

Always be careful when ordering from that company.

I was about to place an order, but thought i'd better ring to double check they were in stock (website stated they were available). Was told they didn't have any there and would be a minimum of 2 weeks before they even knew a delivery date.

Be careful

T1R's ARE directional! So if you get them, make sure you get them fitted correctly on each wheel! (ie left and right) They're supposed to be a step up from the T1S.

'Undirectional tread pattern' - I assumed this means the tyre is non - directional - am I mistaken?

Unidirectional = one direction.
Undirectional = a word you just made up

I was told the difference between the T1-S and T1-R is that the R's are reinforced.
