Having been fed up with the wet handling of P Zero's my local tyre dealer suggested I try the Toyos. I voiced some doubts and Toyo offered me the tyres for 1500 miles after which time either I keep them or they replace them for any other brand. (Except the new unavailable Yokohamas!)Initially at 23/24.5 pressures the front grip is unbelievably better (dry and wet) but the rear feels "floaty" without actually breaking away. They suggested I increase the rear pressures by 2 lbs and the difference is remarkable. 800 miles of "free" motoring left... anybody had experience of the T1-S?

I've driven a good mix of Elises on a good mix of tyres and the T1-S is by far and away the best. Leaves the std Pirelli for dead but doesn't destroy the cars handling like some of the other out there.
