Not going to be used for performance/racing purposes atall but both similarly priced in the size im after! just wondered if one of them is better value (eg quieter/better in all weathers etc)

I know its not a high priced tyre just looking at whats better for the money

Thanks lads

I've always used Falken. Can't go wrong for the price.

Falken is the better all-rounder, Toyo's for dry grip.

^ I put Falkens on and they were great, gripped a lot better than the budget tyres I had on for sure.

Falken have a new one out 914 Eco something not tried them but seem to have better ratings than the older 912 which were a fairly decent tyre. Toyo are cheaper than falken, and tbh won't last as long anyway.

Couldnt comment on Falkens but Andy is spot on imo, Toyo's great in dry, average in the wet and last 5 minutes but they are cheap.

Strange.
My last set on the front lasted 16k including 3 castle combe action days where I done 3 sessions at each. The rears 65k from when car was new.
Returned better grip than some falkens that were fitted to it on the front by a previous owner and feel more confident in the wet.
And that's T1r's and the new T1 sports.

Falken 452's IMO can't be beaten for the price.

I use falken on the corsa,great tyre for the money.

Had toyo proxie 4s a couple years back and were terrible in the wet & snow.Toyo's overated imo but they may be suited more for racing and the odd track day.

Used both Falken ZE912 and Toyo T1R on my Corsa. Nothing really much between them TBH. Both performed pretty equally on Road & Track, in Wet and Dry.

PX4's are rubbish tyres, but the T1R's are pretty good for the money.

I always found them to be alright in the wet too. Don't know why everyone slates them so much.

Cos they're trying to defend their tyres that cost 2 or 3x as much
