- Hi Everyone hope you keeping well, so here we have a video I made on the new tyres strapped to the golf.
I decided to try something different as I've been a big fan of the Yokohama ADVAN sport v105 that I've used over the past couple of years.
I went for the new and revised TOYO PROXES TR1 (not older T1R) 225/40/18 and to be fair this was mainly because of price, nevertheless I was quite impressed with their dry grip and for 4 tyres @ £240 its a fair deal.
Hope you enjoy the video don't forget to like subscribe and share!
Keep safe guys, take it easy.

I have those in my tuned 1.9 jtd Fiat Stilo.
215/45 R17
They are really good for the price, the dry grip is better than Bridgestone Potenza I had before. When they warm up a bit they really stick to the road.
When the road is wet you should drive slowly... Trust me, this ones arent really good BUT if you find yourself waterplanning, this are REALLY GOOD to drain water!!
Here in Portugal the weather is better so this ones are perfect for me 👌
Agreed mate! Dry grip is very very good but wet grip is not great. I suppose for the price it’s a fair trade off. Thanks for watching bro👍🏼
i have these tyres on my MX5 and i have to say they are amazingly stable
no lift off oversteer. they oversteer very late if braking in corners and if they do oversteer its really easy to control.
and also provide a stable drift and thats because of the hard sidewall i think.
The Grip is really good i only have 195s front and rear and i basically dont have to brake at roundabouts i can just enter without slowing down.
They are good mate, I’ve found them to be excellent in the dry especially. The only thing I’d say is that they quite stiff and noisy.
@@Mk4heavenHD how is the wear on these? The tyre shop I come to, they said these are almost "racing" type of tires, and they will wear quickly. Can you give me some feedback ?
Loved the upload, nice to see the tyre comparison, the Golf is looking fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Bro its looking better and better by the day.
@@Mk4heavenHD Are you on insta? If so i will give you a follow 👍🏻👍🏻
John penney - not yet mate, I’m going to sort that out soon so I can post more short clips and pics.
Had a set of toyo tyres on my 300bhp gti very impressed with them good grip in wet and dry. Good value tyres for the price. Replaced with Goodyear asymmetric 5 , brilliant tyres but a lot more expensive. Great video again matey.
Ah nice one mate that gives me the confidence to explorer their limit. Thanks for watching mate.
@@Mk4heavenHD did you find they wear down very fast because they taper alot on the edge theres not much depth at all, they look like a camber problem after just a few miles
Great upload bro, been going through all sorts of review videos online and was pleased I found yours. Bought my leon 184 couple months back with some Rainsport 5s on and wasn't very pleased with the handling and braking distance so decided to do a bit of shopping around and I'm gunna go with the Toyos thanks to your vid 🙂
Thanks Bro, I’m sure you will be happy with the toyo’s my only gripe with them is road noise and in the wet they not as good as the advan sports. Having said that Dry grip is very very good and that wins for me lol..
@@Mk4heavenHD yeah I agree, especially with the warmer months not to far away now, they'll surely come in handy if you catch my drift lol 😉
@@scam-proof2500 Exactly mate, and at their price it’s a no brainer. All the best with your fresh rubber mate.
@@Mk4heavenHD True, thanks bro 🙏
I had the old Proxes V pattern on my old MK3, good tyres. I'm on Bridgestone Potenza S001's now, been on the same set now for over 2 years. I fully recommend. Once these fade I might go back to Toyos. Keep us updated what you think of them.
Okay cool that v pattern was very popular, will give you guys an update for sure 👍🏼
Had the T1R wasn't impressed but the new TR1's are way better. Nice honest review 😎👍
Agree mate, the old ones were too flimsy.
Careful bud, you don't want to perform the money shift!
Good set of tires man. They should serve you well. Cheers!
ha ha ha ha mate I think that money shift is coming sooner or later lol.. Im not gonna lie every time I get home after ragging it with a fully functioning gearbox I count myself lucky.
Very nice set of wheels good choise
Hello i have my mk4 gti and i want it to be more relaible what parts should i upgrade to get it to run smooth and good for long time such as two years and also to go places far without breaking on me what parts should i take care of and change to get the car running bitter what do you roccumend me to do can you please give a list on what to make sure is running good for the car health and also make it storng to daily drive but not every day race and going hard on it thank you sorry for wrong english
Thanks I love the xxr wheels, right where do I start lol
Each car is different in the sense that the previous owners could have looked after the car or they just didn't. If its a 1.8T then these are the things to look out for
Water pump - Original is plastic and breaks so get the revised metal impeller version.
Clean the oil pick up
Platinum
Oil coolers will fail at some stage and are a cheap fix when you do the oil change.
If you ever change electrical sensors only use oem don't use cheap ones eg Mass air flow meter.
Check your exhaust manifold as they crack and kill the power.
I did full evap delete to eliminate boost leak issues but this can be a little complicated.
To be honest regular servicing and maintenance on these cars is key I service my golf every 3000 miles or so.
Hope this helps.
Very COOOL！👍
Thanks man👍🏼
HI! WHAT DO U THINK ABOUT STRETCH OF THIS TYRE? IS GOOD? on which specs tyre do u mount them? i need to mount 225 40 on 10j and 265 35 on 11j
Hi mate, my car has a minor stretch @ 8.5j and surprisingly they were okay especially being a stiff tyre. I’m not sure on your sizes tho but my thinking would be that they should be fine.
Looking good brother 👌👌
Thanks Bro👍🏼
Great review
Thanks bro
I have exactly the same tire set up i.e. exactly the same radisl width size et cetera as my previous Pirelli p zero neros but they seem a bit more chunky than my Perelli P zero Neros ,I can hear them Rubbing on the wheel arches if I go over a speed bump too fast unlike the Pirelli’s
Nice car 🚙
good video fited
them to my scoda vrs wos impressed with them my self not had the neova yokohama on this car but toyos better in wet
Thanks mate, I love them especially in the dry. I’ve found the only drawbacks are road noise and wet grip on Yokohama Adavan was slightly better but for the price difference you can’t beat the toyo’s. Thanks for watching👍🏼
would you recommend these on a suv rav 4 2016?
I don’t see why not mate, they a decent sport tyre and think they would do the job okay.
Try to do a long term video review on the Toyo Proxes TR1. There ins't a single test / review on te net about theses tyres. How's the cornering grip?
I use these on my fiesta st man i can say i had so many tyres i love the tr1’s they are just good ik every weather!
Agreed mate they do the job well and cant be beaten on value for money.
@@Mk4heavenHD sure thing bro, but i’ll be testing the tr888 semi slicks soon cause my thread is almost gone on the tr1’s still dont know if its the best option for Belgian weather but its summer so why not😂
@@mikegaming3826 lol im sure the r888 will be another level.
@@Mk4heavenHD i hope so😂cause they are a bit expensive
@@mikegaming3826 lol yes they are
I;m thinking beetwen Proxes sport and TR1. Whould will u recomend to 1600 kg family, daily car, with 2.0 diesel engine (140hp)???
I would recommend them mate, but it also depends on what the average weather is like wherever you live. For me the Yokohama advans were good in the dry and very good in the wet plus a lot quieter. Whereas the toyo’s are excellent in the dry and good in the wet but a little noisy.
good review mate
🙏🏽 thanks mate.
I have just put these on my 82 bhp fiesta haha! great video
Slow Aveo - Ah great stuff enjoy the grip! Thanks
MK4-HEAVEN cheers! How have you found them over the past few weeks?
@@chazteb -Good question, Dry grip is very good, wet grip is okay nothing special the only negatives are they are very noisy and stiff, but im not worried about that.
MK4-HEAVEN Ive only done maybe 20 miles on mine so far, but my car is slow and I dont drive it hard, bought them really because they look cool, claim the good wet grip and were cheap! I put two on the front for £67 + £24 fitting, not bad! Reading up on them most people say they are terrible!🤔
@@chazteb - Yeah they well priced. Yes people don't seem to have good results with these tyres which i think might be the wet performance. From my experience its pretty clear that in the dry they don't spin much at all considering my golfs 300bhp fwd.
Went to find a review on the TR1 and the video I click on the guy lives round the corner in Stockport. Small world
Harvey Wood - Lol it really is a small world nice to see my videos being watch close to home too. Thanks for watching Mate 🤜🏽
Hello, where did you buy these discs ?
How is the comfort and noise compared to the yokos?
So far I've noticed the stiffness for sure and they are a lot noisier than the Yokohama's. Wet performance is fair but I think the Yokohama,s were slightly better in the wet.
I have T1R , the new proxes is TR1, there are many difference?My size (195/50/15) is very economy.Do you Know Nitto?
Hi mate, yes they're is a difference. The main thing is tyre stiffness and revised water tread the tr1 is supposed to be a better high performance tyre. Yes I know Nitto they made by Toyo also.
did you buy the same set ? thank you !
ey man how is going, i have a question for you. Are you using stock MAF (2.75" i think") or BAM MAF (3") for this 300bhp build. See you, keep the good work.
Mario - all is good mate, I’m running BAM maf on my car. Thanks bro
About to put 4 of these on my MR2 mk3
PS4's is what my friend runs on his mk2 Leon cupra r 380bhp
Yeah ps4's are probably the best tyre for boosted fwd cars, they just a bit pricey.
They're awesome tyres, i have a set on my R32.
Agree mate, they do the job well and their price is brilliant too.
@@Mk4heavenHD Amen brother👍
i got them for my moms hyundai creta on 225/55 hahhahha kinda funny seeing the same tires on a 300 bhp car
lol great stuff, at least you know you can push the Hyundai and it should grip up nicely☺.
can you give me an update on this tires?? i am considering them.
thank you!!
Brilliant tyres in the dry, average in the wet mate. For the price you can’t beat them.
@@Mk4heavenHD thank you so much for you reply. Only 2 more questions.
1- can you confirm that the sidewall is stiffer than in the t1r???
2- how is the degradation/wear going?? are they more or less durable?? thank you!!!!
@@gonzagnr2 no worries mate, yes they are stiffer and slightly noisier then the older tyre, not sure on deg yet they seem to be okay from the looks of it no signs of wear after a good 1500miles of thrashing lol
Now you’ve had them a while,how do they still compare
Hi mate I still think they the best bang for your buck, ive strapped a set on the civic aswell. There is better tyres out there like ps4's, ad08 etc but the cost of them these days is not within an average budget.
@@Mk4heavenHD ok thanks,I think I’m going to give tr1 a try then on my mini 👍🏻👍🏻
No tire direction ?
Just had a look mate and I can’t see one, there is an outside marking tho. Asymmetric tread patter I believe.
you should have the Toyo R888R is much better
Yes mate I agree but the price of them puts me off. If it was a track car or something more aggressive I would bite the bullet and go for em.
When are you doing an instgarm of facebook so we can contact you and show you progress
Im still working on this as im looking to revise the channel slightly, but don't worry once we all set up I will let everyone know.
When you have new tyres fitted you should avoid harsh acceleration, braking and cornering for a couple of hundred miles to allow the tyres to bed with the rims. Oh well.
You mounted the front left tyre wrong
These are not directional tyres buddy and asymmetric therefore you don't get a direction arrow as the treads don't point the same way on both sides. forum.mx5oc.co.uk/t/toyo-proxes-tr1-tyre-asymmetric-tread/123018
mate you drive strange 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
lol🤣, Trust me mate my 500bhp civic even makes me drive stranger lol.. These fwd cars with good power make you pull funny faces and brace yourself.
@@Mk4heavenHD didn’t meen it in a nasty way just looks funny , actually made me smile
Fair play brother 😎
The nickname for them tyres is 'ditch finders'
🤣🤣🤣 Don’t say that mate lol.. I was quite impressed in the dry performance I’m yet to see them in the wet🤨😬
@@Mk4heavenHD 😂 just be careful that's all I have to say.
Daryl Karshe - lol if they crap in the wet they coming off 🤣.. Thanks for warning before hand, I will have to take them easy and slowly find the limit 😕.
There good midrange tyres ,toyos always had good name for grip.they never ditchfinder tyres.
@@jamesrichardson4604 I must be thinking of some other tyres. I'll have a research and ask around.
