195/45 15 Tire Review Highlights

Toyo R1R rated 90% while driving a Datsun 510
Driving on mostly country roads for 10000 spirited miles
For Datsun 510 restomod, lowered, Komi coil overs, bigger sway bars, LS rear end, Rebello street motor, 5 speed
Great street car with R1Rs, grips with confidence. Never driven on a track but swiftly and safely on back roads.
Car is well balanced, understeer and oversteer are very controlled even though I prefer oversteer, the tires are predictable. I have never been caught out on them. Relatively quiet tire on the 510 but more so on my 2001 Miata. Miata has suspension changes as well but as everyone knows, lacks power. With R1Rs the ride is very comfortable and the cornering is excellent with a bias toward oversteer. I don’t drive either car in the rain so can’t comment on wet grip. Depending on how heavy your foot I would expect 15 to 20K miles on these for both my cars.

Goodride SP06 rated 53% while driving a Toyota Estima Aeras G
Driving on mostly town for 0 average miles
Have never had wheels on metal in a bit over a year before,
They were out VERY fast,
Second hand Japanese tires used to last me 4-5 years of light driving and never run down to metal,
These were rubbed out in a bit over a year on parts so quickly...

Haida HD921 rated 78% while driving a Mazda Mazda Miata
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
I have 195/45/15rs on my Miata and they handle good in dry and wet I can be drifting in the rain and they will catch any time I want them to I have no troubles braking with them ether I have driving in the snow the past few days no chains and no problems I cruise thru snow and ice with out any problems they remind me of toyo proxies tr1s but with better traction in the rain and snow

Vredestein Sportrac 5 rated 53% while driving a Ford Fiesta mk7
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
BEWARE! Not great in my size! I tested many, this was the worst "sporty" tire...these will ruin your car sportiness. I selled them and replaced with Toyo TR1 (front) and Laufenn s-fit eq+(rear). Both transforming the car literally.

Avon WV7 rated 88% while driving a Mazda MX5
Driving on for 1500 miles
Have these for winter driving on my turbo’d mx5 mk1. I run ad08r in the summer. These handle the power great when the road surface is cold and give lots of confidence in after we weather conditions.

Nankang Noble Sport NS20 rated 51% while driving a Mazda Mazda2 Sport
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
Had these fitted to my Mazda2 when I purchased it. Very cheap tire and performance reflects this. Tire had maybe a third of its life left so my review will reflect I drove this at its worst. Dry grip okay. Better than other budget passenger tires. Could get some speed of of it but with great difficulty. Steering response is vague and inaccurate. This combined with lack of feedback at the limit made these quite tricky as there was no real warning when these would let go. I would get understeer and snap oversteer with harder cornering. Luckily Mazda's stability control kept me safe. They were very greasy on damp roads but as they were near end of life this is to be expected. Comfort was very good for a performance tire. They were quiet and compliant. All in all this tire is probably for someone who would normally buy the cheapest tire possible and call it a day. They really feel like passenger tires masquerading as performance tires. Fine considering price point but don't expect this to be a cheap alternative to PS4 GYA5 etc.

Toyo T1R rated 47% while driving a Volkswagen Golf
Driving on mostly country roads for 3000 spirited miles
Running these on a 1.8T mk2 Golf.. traction is a problem on average launches in the dry, fine elsewhere though... until it gets even slightly damp, then it's like piloting a greased pig. These are verging on dangerous when it's wet.. worst tires i've ever had in that respect. Plenty of life left in them but they will be getting changed pronto. AVOID

Petlas Velox Sport PT711 rated 87% while driving a Volkswagen Polo 6N
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
On my VW Polo 6N GTI the tires look and feel great. When its dry and sunny (hot pavement) the tires stick like glue. When its wet and slippery tho, the car is too light to force the water from under the tires and it gets tricky. They are noisy, but so is the car so ikc. Overall, bang for the buck, i am happy.

Toyo Proxes TR1 rated 82% while driving a Ford Fiesta mk7
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
What a great tire! Replaced Vredestein Sportrac 5 that couldn't really handle front axle accelerating/breaking and cornering in dry (but are quite good in wet and feedback). Toyo's dry grip, cornering and handling is super, wet - very reasonable. They seem quiet in dry, only a little louder in wet. Overall seem great tires.
