MGTF Tyre query(probably again!)
Hi there,
I need to replace my front 15" tyres which have on good old TOYO PROXY T1R , done 25000 and 7years and hold the road like a gokart.
But it seems the T1R has been replaced by the TR1 -does anyone know if this TR1 variant is any good?
secondly it would appear that a new tyre FALCON ZEISS ZE310 has been tested by Roger Parker/Andy Kitson and found to be good for all conditions.
My question next is would it be ok to fit 2 ZE310 on the front whilst wearing out my rear PROXY T1R ,s

The new toyo variant does get similar feedback to the old one. Personally, I now use Falkens with no issue.
However the F is much more forgiving with tyres than the TF.

David,
thanks for that -to go back on a point -do you think it would be ok to fit the FALKEN ZE310's on the front whist wearing the rears down?
Here's another query to ponder from yore experience ..my fronts have worn only on the edges the meat of the tread is still at 6mm ..does this suggest wrong tyre pressures?
thanks

I hesitate to give an opinion on the tyre match up for a TF as all I know is that the car is very particular with mixed tyres. It would be handy if a TF owner could contribute to the discussion.
Tyre wear of both edges suggests under inflation, by a lot, to leave 6mm in the centre. Possibly worn suspension/ steering components could cause a similar wear pattern.
Obviously, wear on one edge is an alignment issue.
