Guy in the red jumper has weight distribution all backwards. When you are on the power the weight goes to the back. He seems to think if you go on the power weight goes to the front? How does that even make sense to him. Going on the power in a corner in a front wheel drive will cause you to lose grip at the front. Not the other way around.

Always accelerate thru corners in front wheel drive cars. Especially in the wet. If you come off the gas or brake half way thru a corner you lose the weight on the back end and you slide. I learnt this the hard way at cadwell. :-(

It's advertised as a summer tyre, what did you expect to happen.

Loving the vids, building a 172 myself to have a laugh in. Ive been recommended the ns2r but the reviews seem to be similar in the wet but awesome in the dry. I'm considering dropping down to 15's and trying the ad08r just to keep costs down as its supposed to be budget fun.

I know this isn’t a recent video but I’ve just been watching through this series and love it! Just a small tip since you mentioned in other comments you’re learning to drive on track. The ‘locking’ you experienced was because of changing down a gear without rev matching. I won’t explain it in a comment but it’s a good technique to learn to stop that happening! Also, as a Peugeot 106 owner, I can say I’ve experienced the life of lift off oversteer many a time, seems like you’re learning to deal with it well though! Good job guys keep up the great work. (Very tempted by one of these, that noise is insane)

Good to see the offroading credentials of the Clio being put to the test.

I need more of this series

Nice vid guys. My local track as well. I’ve found the t1r a pretty good wet tyre for the price. (I’ve also used full wets so comparing to them).

I have a 172 track day car and I have prices r888r for dry , pair of Rainsport 3's for front when wet and R1R's for intermediate, 8 tyres all in all and cover every eventuality

this is so bad for Toyo T1R. Toyo T1R is very good on wet , i have them on my BMW E46 320 Ci , driving every day on Ireland wet roads. and i like to push my car when road are clear from slow drivers. Toyo T1R is good tyre.

Will & Simon from inbetweeners haha love the video

ffs i have work tomz boys just watch from ep 1 to ep 10 need sleep keep it up bois im so interested i wanna do it !! this helps me see that i cant have it over night and it comes in time ! so good ! im buying a car ! ! ! !

its not the tyre, When I used to race karts you took very different lines in the wet. the reason is due to the fact that the racing line is full of rubber and it gets very slippery when wet. The wet lines tend to brake a full Kart off line into some corners and you tend to run wide and cross the racing line where it is coming to meet the apex. The lack of aggression on turn in is not helping either. you use the lift off over steer and balance it out on the throttle 12:32 in this video displays what should be practiced to get faster in the wet.

Should have got Toyo R1R - Drove today at brands wth r1r and they are brilliant in the wet

Anglesey circuit is one to try! And ad08r’s are a good all rounder

I bought a set of OEM wheels on Civic 9th gen, they came with these tires, brand new, 225/45R17. What a POS tire : poor steer-in respons, easily pushed to max of grip and they cup like crazy within 15000km and am left with a noisy ride. Car was 4 wheel aligned after installing the new set of wheels. Getting Michelin Pilot Sport next time, twice the money four times the joy, if not eight. PS all season V shaped profile Michelin is also POS. I had the Michelin PS4 on my Clio 197 with OEM wheels and they rocked!

Toyo T1r is a terrible tyre when you compare it to Uniroyal rainsport 3. Toyo has very little wet grip. Dangerous if anything!

Definitely get a spoiler Thanks for the heart

My 1980 Golf GTI sticks very well with those same tyres in all, nay most conditions.

Was thinking about buying the Toyos.. maybe not anymore. Am looking for best road/ track day compromise... Any suggestions chaps? Currently driving Mk1 Focus SVT

the T1r`s transformed the handling of my last (nissan) but did nothing for my current (Honda) find the right car & these are are terrific tyres, shoulder wear is the only downside I could find, they had terrible shoulder wear, fantastic grip wet & dry, but terrible shoulder wear, the rest of the tyres had loads of life left in `em, I tried over inflating to use more of the centre tyre tread, it didn`t work, I run Michelins, they work fine-so far!

dude my eyes are hurting and bleeding from how you are holding your steering wheel, and how you actually drive.... i hope in 2022 its better than that time this vid was posted

all u need is them stickers !! ;)

That’s my local track I live in thetford

I did Snett in my 172 with T1R's... not great, but i have nothing to compare to. Now have R888 which will probably be worse.

For anyone looking for a budget sport Tyre that grips ok in the wet try the Nankang Ns2.....not even the Ns2r.....just the normal sport road Tyre. I run Proxes T1r,s on my mini Cooper s and the forementioned Nankang,s on a Vectra SRi and I can say without doubt that they grip better in the wet and have similar performance in the dry......they sound crap by name, but check out the company.....they are very very experienced in Tyre production and so bloody cheap.....I'd rate them higher than proxes.just my opinion

If you had been on r1r's you would have been flying round. The T1R always was a terrible track tyre. There is no sidewall strength, so the tyre collapses under sideloads.

R ur ESP system on?

I personally found the Toyo TR1's (not T1R, but TR1) rubbish. Grip was good in cornering but the steering was vague and unresponsive. Didn't feel planted. Not for me.

Rainsport 3s for those conditions. U can get the yoko ad08 cheap in 15" size for the dry

i love that your not like pros too so much more relatable ! !

What are you expecting. Normal street summer tyre on a wet racetrack. And serious, you are riding dry race lines in the rain. Start learning how to drive:-)

This is a summer tyre

Imagine thinking that summer tires are supposed to perform well in wet conditions.

Mine are brilliant. So cheap (discontinued)

You are to driving what Cyril Smith was to hang Gliding.

LOOKS LIKE COLIN MCRAE

I got dumber from watching this... *stops accelerating mid corner and instantly spins out* "as soon as that weight goes to the back, it just can't hold it" what?!

T1r's are basically ditch finders 😂 get some Uniroyal Rainsport 3's for wet

I’ve had T1Rs and there lethal.. Bridgestone are just as bad..

Ditch finders

driving a clio what a joke

Brilliant tyres , terrible driver

Like a pair of grannies going shopping. And for the love of god learn to rev match on the down shifts - painful to watch.
